SYSTEM DYNAMICS
System dynamics, the foundation of systems thinking, demystifies the powerful forces at work in the systems all around us—from the workplace to human communities to the global ecology. In its simplest sense, system dynamics focuses on the flow of feedback (information that is transmitted and returned) that occurs throughout the parts of a system—and the system behaviors that result from those flows. For example, system dynamicists study reinforcing processes—feedback flows that generate exponential growth or collapse—and balancing processes—feedback flows that help a system maintain stability.

In addition, system dynamicists study the impact of delay on systemic behavior. Perhaps the most exciting thing about system dynamics is that it focuses on computer simulation modeling—using special software programs to figure out how a system's behavior might play out over time if you implement certain changes. These programs thus let you "test flight" your ideas—without crashing your business!

The titles in this series, authored by leading thinkers and practitioners, have long served as the core texts in this important field, and are now available from Pegasus Communications, Inc.
