1 Ali N. Mashayekhi Mehr 1387 Sharif University of Technology Graduate School of Management and Economics System Dynamics for Business Policy Course Schedule GENERAL INFORMATION First Semester Schedule: Sunday and Tuesday 16:30-18:00 TAs: Soheil Ghili, Mohammad Akbarpour, Aref Gharakhani, Nikrooz Nasr, Shima Salehi, Mojtaba Gharibi, Mohammad Mahmoodi, Pouyan Foroughi, Amirhosein Sadighian, Amin Aghajani TA Sessions: The TAs will lead a weekly review session in which they will answer questions and discuss solutions to the due assignments. Time and place of TAs sessions will be arranged later. Grading Emphasis: Assignments: 15% Project: 25% Mid-term exam 20% Final Exam: 40% Each assignment is graded on a 10 point scale. Two points will be forfeited for assignments handed in late. Assignments handed in more than 1 class late will receive no credit. This policy will be strictly enforced. Objectives and Scope This course introduces you to system dynamics modeling for the analysis of socioeconomic and business policy and strategy. Students will practice and learn to think in dynamic terms and over time. They will also learn a system perspective in which they can visualize a socio-economic entity in terms of the structures and policies that create its dynamic and performance over time. System dynamics allows us to create microworlds, management flight simulators where space and time can be compressed, slowed, and stopped so we can experience the long-term side effects of decisions, systematically explore new policies, and develop our understanding of complex systems. We consider the use of systems thinking to promote effective learning. 1
2 The principal purpose of modeling is to improve our understanding of the ways in which a socio-economic entity's performance is related to its internal structure and operating policies. During the course you will use several simulation models to explore the relationship between structure and behavior. In addition through the lectures and exercise we will examine the use and reliability of forecasts; growth and decays of cities; public policy and natural resource management; and the rationality of business decision making. Students will learn to recognize and deal with situations where policy interventions are likely to be delayed, diluted, or defeated by unanticipated reactions and side effects. You will have a chance to use state of the art software for computer simulation and gaming. Assignments give hands-on experience in developing and testing computer simulation models in diverse settings. Text and Software The primary text is Sterman, J. (2000). Business Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World. Irwin/McGraw Hill. ISBN Several excellent packages for system dynamics simulation are now available commercially, including ithink, from High Performance Systems, Powersim, from Powersim Corporation, Professional DYNAMO, from Pugh-Roberts Associates, and Vensim, from Ventana Systems. You may wish to learn more about these packages, as all are used in the business world, and expertise in them is increasingly sought by potential employers. For further information, see the following resources: ithink: See the High Performance Systems web site at < Powersim: See the Powersim web site at < Professional DYNAMO: Contact Pugh-Roberts Associates, 41 William Linskey Way, Cambridge, MA 02142, 617/ Vensim: See the Ventana Systems web site at < In this course, we will be using the Vensim Personal Learning Edition (Vensim PLE), a FREE package offered by Ventana Systems. Vensim PLE comes with on line user s guide and help, and also a folder of demo models. Download Vensim PLE from the Vensim web site at < 2

6 List of assignments: 1. Problem definition In this assignment students should determine important variables in a Phenomenon, Plot behavioral trends, determine desired trends and finally propose policies for improving the condition. 2. Stock and Flow In this assignment, students identify whether a variable is a stock or flow. Also they should plot the behavior of a stock when its rate changes. 3.
