Robert Dyson, Professor of Operational Research, Associate Dean, Warwick Business School.
"Much more than an introduction, John Morecroft′s Strategic Modelling and Business Dynamics uses interactive "management flight simulators" to create an engaging and effective learning environment in which readers, whatever their background, can develop their intuition about complex dynamic systems. The numerous examples provide a rich test–bed for the development of systems thinking and modelling skills."
John Sterman, Jay W. Forrester Professor of Management, MIT Sloan School of Management
"This book, with its vivid examples and simulators, will help to bring modelling, system dynamics and simulation into the mainstream of management education where they now belong."
John A. Quelch, Professor of Marketing, Harvard Business School, Former Dean of London Business School
"This text fills the gap between texts focusing on the purely descriptive systems approach and the more technical system dynamics ones."
Ann van Ackere, Professor of Decision Sciences, HEC Lausanne, Université de Lausanne
"Strategic modelling based on system dynamics is a powerful tool for understanding how firms adapt to a changing environment. The author demonstrates the appeal and power of business modelling to make sense of strategic initiatives and to anticipate their impacts through simulation. The book offers various simulators that allow readers to conduct their own policy experiments."
Dr. Erich Zahn, Professor of Strategic Management, Betriebswirtschaftliches Institut, University of Stuttgart
A website to accompany the book can be found at www.wiley.com/college/morecroft housing supplementary material for both students and lecturers.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
