Business Dynamics with Cd

This is a great book which easily explains the dynamics of system. It explains complexity in a very simple way. A really useful book for everyone especially for the beginners which opens your mind.

Received a second hand book with handwritten notes inside, and without a cd. Disappointing!

Very nice book it will provide a better understanding of the system dynamics tool for real life situation.

The only reason I am not returning this book is that the pages inside are clean and the CD came with the book, but both the front and back covers have scratches, and bends in the paper, the corners are dog eared and the front cover is dirty. It's clearly a book that has been returned previously, it doesn't feel 100% brand new, that or it has been kept in storage badly by the seller. My husband needed that book, so I let it slide, but I am a bit disappointed by the fact the seller didn't do any quality check before packing and shipping that book, what if it was to be gifted to someone?

The book is in good condition and was delivered in 1 day. But the accompanying CD is missing. That's a big disappointment 😞

Did not receive any CD along with the book.I think the CD bundles a simulation software . Book is in good condition.

A very useful book that facilitates the comprehension of feedback processes in complex systems. It is highly recommended to all who seek to address issues in complex systems.

L'ouvrage est annoncé comme neuf mais la couverture et la quatrième de couverture présentent plusieurs plusieurs marques d'usure et pliures. Ce produit n'est pas neuf mais d'occasion en bon état.

I bought this book, because I had read Stermans article on the Airline Profit Cycle, and how big data induced individual prices per customer increase cycle oscillations, leading to lower shareholder values. I highly recommend the article, but I cannot recommend this book. A future edition should trim 70% of the pages and provide a how-to-guide for the manufacturing industry only. (1)A book called Business Dynamics should focus on Business. This book was bloated with examples on the AIDS epidemic, communist romanian birth policy, the war on drugs, demography in general, the fate of the Easter Island between 1150 an 1400, etc.. (2)In academic publications the first sentence should condense an abstract of the chapter / paragraph, and cut out useless words. In this book you must always read the entire chapter to get an overview and cut out 50% of all words. Too many anecdotes and general philosophical comments. (3)The first 2 chapters may be cut out with no loss of information (4)Recycles Information published by other authors much earlier, but does not provide new findings or methods, nor better explanations. (5)A future Edition should use these models for market dynamics AND include hedonic price indices. The few business contents foucus on internal logistics and neglect, how prices effect the market. That applies to nearly all publications on System Dynamics. The famous Club of Rome model, which predicted 'Limits to Growth' in 1972 neglected the effect of Prices on scarce resources - and became a self-destroying prophecy. Summary: popular science bloated by poor writing. A mediocre book by an excellent professor. I got more out of Hannon / Garvey 'Dynamic Modeling for Management', a short and concise book. Forrester 'Industrial Dynamics' 1961 is still worth reading.

well delivered and well kept. Essential read for all managers.

A reference book for those interested in Systems Dynamics !
