This paper contributes to the discussion of academic training requirements for System Dynamics modelers. In particular, it suggest that training in Strategic Management can provide the System Dynamics modeler with some essential complementary tools and a “top management perspective” (or systems viewpoint), which is needed to define problems of real managerial interest. To illustrate these points, the author describes his experiences in defining a problem for system dynamics modeling. The future prospects for the New Zealand Forestry Sector, and the New Zealand Forest Service, are described and the problem for modeling is presented.
