    As a 22-year veteran of a nonprofit company that produces free products and services to the general public, this lesson was definitely enough of a prompt to hit the Subscribe button. Thanks! I've always enjoyed classes from professors who are at once knowledgeable, humble ("I can't teach you anything!"), and humorously self-effacing.

      I wonder if complex growth figures for complex systems was touched. www.researchgate.net/publication/270817856_Imaginary_Interest_Rates_and_Complex_Net_Present_Value_Calculus_in_Energy_Economics An imaginary growth rate is basically describing a cycle, an oscillation. Cycles are sustainable, whereas exponential growth (real number) is not sustainable in a finite world.

But if you are looking for an introduction to the tools and techniques of SD, please check course number 15.871 and 15.872 on MIT OCW (ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/). These are the two courses that make up one semester of introductory System Dynamics at MIT.
      Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    I gotta get into MIT. BTW, most people aren't natural systems thinkers. They see a tiny part of the system and make a ton of assumptions based on their own biases, faulty beliefs, and past experience (this is a big one). It's interesting that he says models are always wrong. I think part of that is because you cannot accurately model 'reality.' But it is possible to perceive it as objectively as humanly possible (think metacognition, which means you can identify the limits of your own perception --
    kind of paradoxical) and intuitively implement the most effective solution. Most exciting part about this, it goes far beyond business.

    • @sepia_tone
      @sepia_tone Před 6 lety +1

      The full quote is "All models are wrong, but some models are useful". The challenge of course is to come up with a "useful" model (of whatever system one is trying to analyze).

    • @gunnarkaestle
      @gunnarkaestle Před 3 lety

      @@RAJAT6555 I don't think you can say: "the more nonlinear it gets" because either it is linear or it is not linear. If it is linear then you can rather easily solve the dynamics and find a controller that keeps the system in a stable state. The small signal stability (=linearized around the working point) - and also large signal stabiliy are guaranteed and you avoid these overshoot and collapse scenarios or resonance catastrophies.

    I think the diagram early in the session is wrong (at 7 mins 47 or so) - the linear movement from 'identify problem' through a few stages to 'implement' should not be labeled 'open loop' . It is a closed loop. Is this right?

      It's mainly an issue of limited resources. We have a limited budget and people power to work on courses for MIT OpenCourseWare publication. We only select a limited number of courses to be fully recorded during any given semester. There are many variables on the priority: is it by a good professor who is retiring and it's the last lecture he's going to give? Is it a course in badly need of an update? Is it on a timely issue that would be good to publish on (e.g. pandemics). Etc. Etc.

      MIT has funded MIT OpenCourseWare for tens of millions of dollars ($1.5 - 2 million a year for almost 20 years). Within that we have to make choices on what we can do. Video is some of the most expense content we can do. We can only provide full video for a limited number of courses. Keep in mind, MIT OpenCourseWare is not just a CZcams channel. We have materials for over 2400 courses at ocw.mit.edu - textbooks, exams, lecture notes, problems sets, and more. If you want to fund the capture of a course, contact us through the feedback form.
