System dynamics: a soft and hard approach to modelling
System dynamics: a soft and hard approach to modelling
System Dynamics (SD) can be employed for qualitative and quantitative modelling. There are important tools and methods within SD that can be easily accommodated within qualitative modelling, also known as Soft Operational Research or problem structuring method. While traditional stocks and flows are the basic components of quantitative SD modelling, quantitative SD modelling shares many commonalities, e.g. empirically driven, through testing, and critical focused to outputs, with traditional simulation methods and quantitative Operational Research tools. This tutorial informs novice modelers on the aspects to consider when they want to use SD as a qualitative and quantitative modeling method. In any approach employed, the use of SD modelling needs to be grounded in relevant literature from the perspective employed, qualitative or quantitative.

Abstract
System Dynamics (SD) can be employed for qualitative and quantitative modelling. There are important tools and methods within SD that can be easily accommodated within qualitative modelling, also known as Soft Operational Research or problem structuring method. While traditional stocks and flows are the basic components of quantitative SD modelling, quantitative SD modelling shares many commonalities, e.g. empirically driven, through testing, and critical focused to outputs, with traditional simulation methods and quantitative Operational Research tools. This tutorial informs novice modelers on the aspects to consider when they want to use SD as a qualitative and quantitative modeling method. In any approach employed, the use of SD modelling needs to be grounded in relevant literature from the perspective employed, qualitative or quantitative.
