W1 Upon completion of the course, students shall”

- Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the main theoretical and conceptual approaches to institutional complexity

- Demonstrate general knowledge on types of systems and theoretical notions concerning “systemic approach”

: The fundamental concepts of system dynamics, including causal loop diagrams, stocks and flows, and feedback loops

Common patterns in complex systems, such as growth and decay, oscillations, and chaos

U 1: Upon completion of the course, students can:

- -demonstrate the ability to describe a range of definitions used for the analysis of complexity phenomena

- - demonstrate the ability to present their own analysis in oral and written form and contribute to a common learning environment corresponding with high academic standards

- Create and analyze causal loop diagrams, stocks and flows diagrams, and feedback loops to understand complex systems

- Identify and interpret patterns in systems to inform decision-making

- Apply systems thinking and system dynamics to address real-world problems in economics, management, and organizations


K: 1: Upon completion of the course students are ready to:

- Cooperate with a group and prepare a presentation on a selected complexity example analyses


K 2: - Collaborate with peers to analyze complex systems using system dynamics tools and techniques

PART ONE (M. Abassy)

Complexity: Let’s make it simple! What is ‘complexity

Examples of complexity, Key properties of complex systems, definition(s) of complexity, Goals and methodology of the field of complex systems research, Dynamics and chaos in complex systems, Iteration – what is it and how does work in complex systems, Linear and Non-linear systems

Self-organization in biological systems. Organized patterns – how they emerge?Models of cooperation in social systems. Networks: how connected are we/ How can I reach an X person?

PART TWO

Definition of system dynamics: A methodology for understanding the behavior of complex systems over time

Causal loop diagrams: Visualizing relationships between variables in a system

Stocks and flows diagrams: Representing accumulations and movement of resources in a system

Feedback loops: Reinforcing and balancing loops in system dynamics

Patterns in Systems

Identifying common patterns in systems, such as growth and decay, oscillations, and chaos

Analyzing and interpreting patterns to inform decision-making

Applications in Economics and Management (3 hours)

Complexity in economic systems: Understanding market dynamics, macroeconomic policies, and global economic interdependencies using systems thinking and system dynamics

Organizational complexity: Analyzing decision-making, communication, and change management in organizations through the lens of complexity
