This paper introduces a system dynamics model that integrates emerging technologies in the pursuit of sustainable agritourism development within communities. Based on Society 5.0, this model aims to blend technological innovations with community-oriented approaches so as to redefine the...

In the context of private universities, improving researchers' performance is critical for universities to remain competitive. This article utilizes system dynamics to analyze how key variables related to leadership, such as satisfaction, motivation, efficiency, research capabilities, and...

Commercializing technologies from universities is often hindered by insufficient resources, prolonged development cycles, and limited industry engagement. A Technology Transfer Office (TTO) typically supports these efforts, yet many initiatives still fail without an effective strategy. This...

Different types of mathematical models can be used to forecast the development of diseases as well as associated costs and analyse the cost-effectiveness of interventions. The set of models available to assess these parameters, reach from simple independent equations to highly complex...

Over the past few decades, there has been significant development in actions aimed at global energy transition, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The energy sector plays a significant role in this endeavor, contributing 76% of the world's total emissions. Considering...

This study investigates the impact of blockchain technology on demand forecasting and the associated costs in supply chain management using system dynamics modeling. With the increasing complexity and challenges of demand prediction in modern supply chains, the potential of blockchain to enhance...

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to develop a set of policies to solve the decarbonization issues of container terminal clusters. Design/methodology/approach - This research used the system dynamics approach to develop an integrated multi-issue policy model. Findings - We found that the...

The watershed represents a holistic system whose poor understanding of its multiple subsystems can lead to a pronounced water scarcity. This study aims to develop an innovative technique for managing water resources within the Souss-Massa watershed. It uses the System Dynamics (SD) methodology...

In times of radical socio-technical change, system-level or transformative innovation (hereafter simply system innovation) is necessary in order to achieve, or maintain, economic prosperity, in ways compatible with environmental sustainability and a cohesive society. There is growing policy...

Despite being energy and water proficient, the practice of aquaponics has remained underdeveloped and underutilized in a poor power generating continent like the African continent and a water scarce society like the Republic of South Africa. As the population of humans on the globe continues to...

As the impacts of climate change are expected to be increasingly disruptive, a growing share of the economic literature moved to modelling approaches to address the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental issues. Among them, System Dynamics (SD) stands out as a well-established...

Migrant labor market integration is vital for the resilience of the host country and the migrant population's sustainable livelihood. Greece, which hosts thousands of new immigrants, could seize the private sector's experience to offer effective and holistic labor market integration...

Economic uncertainty has been increasing, as evidenced by recent fluctuations in global markets and unpredictable economic indicators such as volatile demand, stock market fluctuations, and unpredictable interest rates. Economic profitability and working capital efficiency are pivotal indicators...

Regions play an important role in the global economy by driving research and innovation policies through a major tool, the Regional Innovation System (RIS). The RIS is a social system that encompasses the systematic interaction of the various organizations that comprise it, to improve local...

Understanding future demands of water, energy, and food (WEF) resources is essential to achieve sustainable management of these resources. Based on a survey of 90 households, this study provides an analysis of household water, energy, and food security for the city of Goma, Democratic Republic...

The academic literature has viewed drivers of corruption in isolation and, consequently, failed to examine their synergistic effect. Such an isolated view provides incomplete information, leads to a misleading conclusion, and causes great difficulty in curbing corruption. This paper conducts a...
