For about 20 years I have taught System Dynamics modelling at a seminar cource., faculty of commerce, Meiji University , Tokyo. About 6-10 sophomore students used to be divided into 2 groups and each groups and each chose an optimal company or an urban city, for which students tried to formulate a System Dynamics simulation model, and its results were seen every year in a magazine published in Japanese by the faculty of commerce, Meiji University . There were about 30 papers of students, for such companies as super-market, watch, drugs, newspaper, transportation, brewery, bank, gas, restaurant, tobacco, airline and so on, or for a suburban city near Tokyo. Students gathered historical data, had interviews with objective cooperations, formulated models, for which they analysed feedback loops and simulation results. They did all by themselves. These systems thinking studies were of very much value for students. I will explain a few examples from my student’s works and some other Japanese research case studies.
