Seeger, John A., "“Open” Systems, Closed Minds", 1992

System Dynamics has not achieved widespread recognition as a paradigm of substance in the business-related disciplines of Strategic Management, Organization Behavior, Organization Theory, or Operations Management. One reason for its slow acceptance by academicians in these fields and related social sciences may lie in the specialized meanings and usages attached to common words by the System Dynamics lexicon.

Writers in the field need pay special attention to the semantic implications of their presentation.
