Policy Designing via System Dynamics

Arzu Eren Şenaras

Abstract

This chapter aims to explain system dynamics approach. System dynamics approach was developed by Jay Forrester from MIT during the 1950s to analyze especially the complex behavior in administration with computer simulation in social sciences. System dynamics is a form of systems approach as a methodology to understand the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The basis of system dynamics is to understand how system structures cause system behavior and system events. System dynamics deals with how things change over time. Almost all are interested in how the past formed the present moment and how today's actions determine the future.
