Sommario/riassunto

This ebook underlines once more the relevance that system dynamics holds for the overall success of all organizations, not just learning organizations, and indeed for the quality of the lives we live. The authors contributing papers to this ebook clearly not only agree that systems thinking and system dynamics has relevance for organizations, but they have set out to prove it.
