Book Reviews of Industrial dynamics

Book Review: 1960's Classic on System Dynamics - still important
Summary: 4 Stars

I agree with the previous reviewer, that Mr.Forresters book was one the most important and yet most ignored books on dynamics/strategy in the 20th century.

Forresters basic insight was: translate the evolution of a market segment into cybernetic circles, translate those circles into differential equation, and those equations into a computer language like DYNAMO.
