Morecroft, John D.W., "Strategic Microworlds and System Dynamics Modelling", 1988
ua435
In the past ten years, system dynamics has become more accessible to managers and more applicable to strategic issues. The paper reviews developments in software, theory, gaming and methods of simulation analysis that have brought about this change. Together these developments allow modellers to create computer-based learning environments (or microworlds) for managers to “play-with” their knowledge of business and social systems and to debate strategic change.
