Efekty kształcenia: | (tylko po angielsku) Efekty uczenia 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 W: 2 The application of system dynamics in various fields, including economics, management, and organizational development 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 - Communicate insights and findings from system dynamics analyses to diverse audiences - Engage in continuous learning and self-improvement to refine their understanding of system dynamics and its applications |

Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) 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 Supply chain and operations management: Applying systems thinking to optimize supply chain networks, inventory management, and production processes Innovation and product development: Utilizing system dynamics to explore the complexities of innovation, product life cycles, and market adoption Strategy formulation and implementation: Leveraging systems thinking and system dynamics for strategic planning, scenario analysis, and risk management in complex business environments |
