System Dynamics

Introduction

This section is devoted to resources and new developments in the field of system dynamics. The theory of tractional distance  (TTD) is best understood in the language of system dynamics. Dr. Michael Moore defined the relationship between the key theoretical constructs of the TTD n a dynamic form: Each construct is affected by the others and affect the others as time progresses.

This is also the method that we (Dr. Shearer and Dr. Saba) proposed for constructing a model of your academic unit (e.g. a state higher education system, a university, a college/school, or a department).
