I am right - you are wrong, and I am not emotional by Susanne

This model is a reaction on one of the many fruitless discussions on social media where people resist the most rational and logical arguments in order to keep their mental model and also to feel good by thinking they are better than others. Psychology knows (at least) three mechanisms to protect one's feeling of integration (see Kai Neumann's model on this: https://www.know-why.net/model/Atxrf7zQLpoe5JP2Uvumyjw): cognitive dissonance (my final choice is good, everything else was bad) psychological reacta...

Competitive Incentives: Working Harder or Working Smarter? Improvement Management by Michael Nesser

Actually, it should only be a small excercise - to test the imodeler. But the results of the model are really worth to be posted here. The model is based on the findings of the following research, I've only added a few points:  Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems that Never Happened: Creating And Sustaining Process Improvement (Nelson P. Repenning, John D. Sterman). http://web.mit.edu/nelsonr/www/Repenning=Sterman_CMR_su01_.pdf The findings are not really new, but still valid and relevant.

The rise of resistance against climate policies by Kai Neumann

Whether it is Germany's "Heizungsgesetz" or the European Union's "Renaturation Law" there is a certain pattern how resistance evolves. Recently I was on workation sailing the Baltic Sea observing lots of signs of movements against the implementation of protected natural habitats in the Baltic Sea. The fishing 'industry', the tourism, and the water sports enthusiasts all seem united in their protest against the protection of the Baltic Sea. Fact is, that the Baltic Sea is in an extremely poor condition ca...

The news: is the world getting better or worse by Kai Neumann

The Model asks: do we need so many negative news if actually the world is better off? As explained in the presenter (Menu... Presenter) the model argues that it takes both, positive and negative news.  Interestingly there are some figures that suggest that the world is better off. What we do not know, though, is whether we could have been living in a way better world and if the world would have been as it is without negative news. http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/12/good-news-in-2015...

Economy from a systems perspective p9 by Kai Neumann

... still work in progress and soon more .... On my vacation I intended to complete my reading of Kate Raworth's "Doughnut Economics". I looked at this concept many years ago and wasn't fascinated by it but I have come across it several times in different projects since then so I decided to take a second look. I watched her TED talk and I really like her. Still, the concept I find disappointing though I haven't read the complete book, yet. I think it is a normative approach to rethink economics but in or...
