Summary: Today’s leading authority on the subject is the author, MIT Standish Professor of Management and Director of the System Dynamics Group, John D. Sterman. Sterman’s objective is to explain, in a true textbook format, what system dynamics is, and how it can be successfully applied to solve business and organizational problems. System dynamics is both a currently utilized approach to organizational problem-solving at the professional level, and a field of study in business, engineering, and social and physical sciences.
