Students will get the opportunity to learn and try more advanced applications of system dynamics in the area of dynamic simulation of company management and modeling of behavior of complex systems, using causal relationships and feedback. The style is interactive, based on syndicate and plenary discussions, solving and presenting case studies and managerial games.
Aim of the course -
Last update: T_KTI (10.05.2011)

To teach students to think about business, markets and companies as system dynamics models. At the end of semester students will be able to identify and explain various linkages and rules of system and support their arguments by dynamic simulations. Particularly they will get insights into company management issues.
