Ethical management (FIFA, Volkswagen, Food Industry, Banks, etc.) by Kai Neumann

Consumers do not know what they buy Politics should make things transparent Media makes things transparent Lobbying from unethical companies There is a low ethical standard in society People enjoy unethical products Ethical management Consumers get products that are good for all Managers maximize their personal gain Managers maximize the company's profit There is demand for unethical products Politics should establish a renowned system Facebook develops an ecoscoring System for eco scoring NGOs cooperate to develop a standard ecoscoring

A collaborative qualitative model that goes into more detail on the question how we as a society can get companies with more ethical behavior. A factor that pops up in the Volkswagen model by Emma: https://www.know-why.net/collab?id=CqRaiGJvfseHd0D0h-U2PiQ but also when we think about FIFA or all the lobbyist's work from the oil industry (there is the BP memo from the eighties that described the strategy to prevent the information of the public on the likelihood of a climate change) or the nutrition ind...

PiM example for change of units within a process by Kai Neumann

box space available available boxes amount from box needed per unit capacity of box delivered boxes forklift truck boxes material preparation of parts type 1 prepared parts type 1 delivery of boxes with parts type 1 worker final product assembly total of boxes

The challenge behind this model was to collect units in a box and to take them from the boxes again. There are probably other ways to model this but this was my first idea.

PiM Mini Model on Costs based on Availability by Kai Neumann

Costs of Level Resource 1 Number of Resource 1 Costs of Resource 1 Value of Target Step 3 Step 2 Step 1 Level Resource 1 Resource A Target Finished (Step 2) Finished (Step 1) Overall Costs Total Costs

This mini model shows one of two ways to calculate costs within PROCESS-iMODELER models. Costs can be either as shown in another model the directly associated costs or like shown here the costs of the availability of the resources. For the availability of resources you simply sum up the cost of a resource times the number of principally available resources. The use of level resources can either be equally their principal availability or their use. For this you can use the possibility to connect a process...

Ministerpräsident Kretschmer will sich Diesel kaufen (bei Anne Will) by Kai Neumann

Wettbewerbs- vorteile Wettbewerbs- nachteile Aufklärung, Werte CO2 Emissionen Deutschland CO2 Kraftwerke, Industrie Zertifikatehandel CO2 Mobilität, Gebäude, Ernährung Braunkohleausstieg, irgendwann weitere CO2 Bepreisung Anreiz, Verhalten zu ändern Wir tun ja schon was fossile Brennstoffe werden billiger Änderungen in der Welt Wirtschaftssysteme kollabieren weniger wird exploriert

Anne Will am 5.5.2019 https://daserste.ndr.de/annewill/Streit-um-CO2-Steuer-wer-zahlt-fuer-den-Klimaschutz,annewill5986.html - trotz Maja Göpel eine enttäuschende Sendung, da keine klaren Zusammenhänge aufgezeigt wurden. Auf der anderen Seite wurde allerdings erschütternd deutlich die selbst für die CDU anachronistisch konservative Haltung des Ministerpräsidenten Kretschmer und sein offenbar mangelndes Wissen. Seine Position zusammengefasst: Ja, die Bevölkerung will Klimaschutz, und wir steigen ja auch ...

Example model on Value Chains (Qualitative Model) by Kai Neumann

Target Step 3: Product development Gain of player 2 Gain of player 4 Step 4: Manufacturing Costs of player 2 Step 2: Processing materials Costs of player 4 Gain of player 1 Step 1: Providing raw material Step 5: Marketing of product Costs of player 1 Step 6: Selling the product Gain of player 3 Costs of player 3

Just a small example model to show the benefits of qualitative modeling of value chains (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_chain) Note: There is also (soon) a quantitative model on KNOW-WHY.NET: https://www.know-why.net/model/CwgPFMPsVgABXfHJVpjxhqw

The America Deserves Better (ADB) Movement by Kai Neumann

Counter movements pro Trump Topics Trump can trumpet Catchy name for the movement Public uses KNOW-WHY.NET ;-) Public discusses content Some interest groups applaud Trump Seemingly little chance to change something People loose interest Market and international reaction Press reports on turbulence Announcements become action People get on the streets Trump and his personnel announce weird things Lead persons for the movements (even bipartisan ?) Critical mass of people on the streets

So far my systemic analyses on US politics were right: https://www.know-why.net/model/CNrzC8lwArz25c6wxZOZyHA Now it is time to understand how the movement of the people can gain momentum. So, please add a comment on what is missing.

London's Housing Crisis - a collaborative modeling experience by Kai Neumann

Optimal housing in London Affordable housing Higher margin on luxury objects Increase of size of apartments Offers of luxury housing Increase of prices low interests Singles available number of living quarters Banks and house owner fear loss of value pressure from elections and social tensions Lobby from real estate business Demand for expensive housing Lack of low cost housing Political intervention

On LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2639211/2639211-6171315685852012548?trk=hb_ntf_COMMENTED_ON_GROUP_DI...) Bob Bollen asks for ways to model London's housing crisis. While some suggestions are rather complicated (some imho outdated) I'd like to suggest to just start with it in a way that not just experts but also stakeholders can read a model and contribute to it. So here is the start of a collaborative model. Please ask for any further assistance / guidance using the comment functions on kno...
