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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The sustainable business model is critical in designing a performance model for logistics service companies by taking into account the dominant factors in managing all the resources needed to carry out operational processes, including the implementation of the logistics system as an effort to...

This study explores how the System Dynamics modeling approach can help deal with the problem of conventional insurance mechanisms by studying the feedback loops governing complex systems connected to the disaster insurance mechanism. Instead of addressing the disaster's underlying risk, the...

Innovating service-oriented business models in industrial business-to-business (B2B) contexts presents a complex and risky endeavor. Recently, System Dynamics (SD) modelling and simulation has been suggested as a tool for prototyping and experimentation in business model innovation (BMI)....

The presence of congestion is a common scenario in tertiary-level hospitals worldwide. Current research suggests that an increase in hospital bed capacity is not a long-term solution given that patient demand adapts to added capacity. Recent literature suggests the need for the implementation of...

Over the years, industrial safety management in Peru's metallurgical mining sector has become a business problem with no acceptable solution. Annual statistics reveal an average of 60-70fatal accidents in companies in this sector. This paper proposes using the Systemic Methodology to Develop and...

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the systems dynamics (SD) research landscape, drawing on 2,091 documents from Scopus and Web of Science. This research employs bibliometric techniques to explore the evolution of the scientific community over the past 50 years and assess research...

Freight Villages (FV) are important nodes in supply chains and can be seen as industrial and trade zones with good connections to transport networks, such as road, rail and air, offering basic logistics services, such as warehousing and transshipment, as well as further complimentary services...
