System Dynamics: Systems Modeling and Thinking for a Complex World

James Paine. RES.15-004 System Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World. January IAP 2020. Massachusetts Institute of Technology: MIT OpenCourseWare, https://ocw.mit.edu. License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA.

Description:

This IAP session provided a brief overview of System Dynamics via a presentation and also a hands-on simulation experience, the Fishbanks. It acted as a preview of the more in-depth coverage available in courses offered at MIT Sloan (such as 15.871, 15.872, 15.873).

  • Link to the full recording (must have MIT Kerberos login) can be found here.
 
If you do not have a MIT Kerberos login, a video of the presentation is embedded below (note that the middle hour is the playing of the Fishbanks simulation. The debrief starts at approximately 2:21:45 in the video below).
