System Archetypes Limits to Growth by Franc Grimm

In the model "system achetypes" (https://imodeler.info/ro?key=AWmcYVpCac1lRUJaRxmTz7Q) we have explained different system archetypes, which are describing common patterns of behavior in all kind of organizations or systems. For this, we have used simple examples - mainly based on the work of Peter Senge (Literature: Peter Senge et. al., The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook, 1994).  Peter Senge documented the most common set of patterns of behavior in organizations that have the tendency of reoccurring. These p...

Nachhaltiges Deutschland: Lock-In-Effekt by Franc Grimm

Wovon hängt eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft in Deutschland ab? Wie gelingt uns der Wandel und welche Akteure spielen dabei eine bzw. die entscheidende Rolle? Dieses Modell belegt es: Alle Akteure hängen voneinander ab und warten geradezu auf das Verhalten anderer. Im Jahrbuch Ökologie 2014 wird dies als Lock-In-Effekt bezeichnet – diese Veröffentlichung diente auch als Vorlage für das Modell.  Veröffentlichung:   Achim Daschkeit, Kora Kristof, Ulrich Lorenz & Sylvia Veenhoff: Deutschland 2050 – Bausteine f...

Riddle of 2019 by Kai Neumann

Here‘s a small model that should have a unique solution. That is the challenge: Use to following factors so that the connections of the model make sense: Climate change Prosperity here conventional behavior is cool and comfortable Peace Prosperity in the rest of the world Sustainable lifestyle It should be a good exercise to understand the difference between direct and indirect impacts and much more. Please discuss the model here on KNOW-WHY.NET but send your solution (the model, a link, or a sceenshot) ...

System-Archetyp / Verhaltensmuster Erfolg den Erfolgreichen by Franc Grimm

In diesem Modell wollen wir einen durch Peter Senge (Fünfte Disziplin - siehe unten) bekannt gewordenen System-Archetypen (wiederkehrendes Verhaltensmuster in Organisationen und Systemen) vorstellen und erläutern.  Weitere System-Archetypen (inkl. Stammbaum) finden Sie hier: https://imodeler.info/ro?key=ArHGClStFqsJ2nk8YI6gfUA Seien Sie gespannt und fühlen Sie sich möglicherweise auch gerne ertappt, ähnlich in Ihrer täglichen Entscheidungspraxis gehandelt zu haben.  Die verwendeten Mini-Beispiele sollen ...

Outliers - the formula for success by Kai Neumann

A limit to qualitative models is that they cannot show multiplicative effects. A famous example is the formula for successful people (see also M. Gladwell's "Outliers"). According to this our success is the multiplication of hard work, talent and luck. No luck, no success. Little talent, little success despite all effort and even luck.  Similar argumentation: http://www.greattransition.org/publication/whats-luck 

Quantitative model for the recycling of paper (with stocks) by Kai Neumann

Small exercise to model recycling of paper It can be used for glass or plastics as well. A scenario could be that there is a short term increase of demand or a extraordinarily low price so a paper mill decides to buy more wood which will with a delay lead to more recycled paper and a possible overproduction unless the purchase of wood is lowered again.
