Welcome to Systhink Home Page on Resources and Links to System Thinking: Page is maintained by Himadri Banerji Systems Thinking and Systems Dynamics The central concept to system thinking is understanding how all the objects in a system interact with one another. A system can be anything from a steam engine, to a bank account, to a basketball team. The objects and people in a system are in a state of continuous change affected by different variables. They interact through "feedback" loops, where a change in one variable affects other variables over time,which in turn affects the original variable, and so on. This results in complexity in predicting change.The behaviour of systems is counter-intuitive. System Dynamics helps in modelling and understanding such systems. Systems Dynamics helps in designing sound policies for development of societies.
