Developing System Dynamics Models from Causal Loop Diagrams
In this paper we discuss how a Causal Loop diagram (CLD) can be labeled and structured incrementally in order to finally transform it into a Stock and Flow diagram. A CLD does not contain enough information to describe a model uniquely. Hence the decisions on how to transform the CLD cannot be made automatically; they must be based on information about the modeled system. We describe a general ...
متن کاملARCHIVES Problems with causal-loop diagrams
Founded in the mid1950s, the field of system dynamics has intellectual roots reaching much further into the past. The Archives section of the Review seeks to publish material from that past which can contribute to current theory and practice. The section welcomes previously unpublished but deserving system dynamics work, classics from past system dynamics literature that should receive renewed ...
متن کاملEffects of causal loop diagrams on escalating commitment
Previous research suggests that decision makers have the tendency to keep on investing in losing courses of action. The present study focuses on de-escalation and proposes causal loop diagrams as a technique to decrease escalating commitment in a failing action. The effectiveness of causal loop diagrams is also contrasted with the effect of receiving a list of important factors. Causal loop dia...
متن کاملCausal reasoning with mental models
This paper outlines the model-based theory of causal reasoning. It postulates that the core meanings of causal assertions are deterministic and refer to temporally-ordered sets of possibilities: A causes B to occur means that given A, B occurs, whereas A enables B to occur means that given A, it is possible for B to occur. The paper shows how mental models represent such assertions, and how the...
متن کاملAn Interpretive Approach to Drawing Causal Loop Diagrams
Abstract Causal loop diagram largely influences the effectiveness of system dynamics. The complex interpretive nature of management problems makes it difficult to recognize all the existing causal loop relations. In order to build system dynamics models for ill-defined problems, "Group Model-Building" is developed. As discussed by Vennix, one source of these messy situations is different percep...
