Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Simulation of Social System Evolution With Spiral Loops: July 1986
When we started our research activities in the field of know-how transfer by multinational corporations to developing countries in 1979, we intended to develop a system dynamics model to explain and design this problematic process from the view of a multinational corporation. Very soon we recognized, however, that the interactive and evolutionary character of this process was a major obstacle to its formulation in a system dynamics model.

Excerpt from The Simulation of Social System Evolution With Spiral Loops: July 1986
Abstract
Social system evolution is taken to be the result of the interaction of autonomous social systems for the purposes of this paper. An autonomous social system is understood to be a multi-level decision making system which basically uses two types of rules in order to maintain its goals: nile-setting strategies and rule-fulfilling policies.The article gives an introduction to a recently developed methodology which makes it possible to represent rule-setting and rule-fulfilling decision making processes in social systems with their structural and behavioral differences. This new methodology also allows us to simulate evolutionary processes in social systems based on these two forms of decision making. The new methodology combines the servo-mechanistic feedback loop concept of system dynamics with intelligent logical loops, which we call spiral loops. The spiral loop concept, which is based on new developments in evolutionary theory and in the field of artificial intelligence, is used to represent the rule-setting strategic decisions which generate qualitative changes and evolution. The servo-mechanistic feedback loop concept is used to model the rule-fulfilling policy decisions of social systems which can generate quantitative changes in interaction processes. The potential of this new approach is demonstrated with two important social system application: (1) "The portfolo simulation model" which helps us to explain and to design the evolution of multibusiness firms in duopoly markets, and (2) the know-how transfer model which explains the evolution of multinational corporations in less developed countries and which helps to improve the simultaneously ongoing process of know-how transfer.
Introduction
During the last few years we have witnessed the development of two main system simulation approaches to explain and design social system evolution- the system dynamics approach and the approach of the Brussels School (for a more complete overview of existing system approaches see Jantsch 1979, 80).The system dynamics methodology originally developed by Jay Forrester at the Massachusetts Insitute of Technology is based on the assumption that social systems generally are stable and insensitive to parameter variations, and allows us to represent the phenomenon of structural change in two ways. First, with the concept of shifting loop dominance which allows structural changes in social systems to be modelled in a continous and quantitative way. Second, structural changes are introduced into system dynamics models by policy making. New policies (new structures) are formulated by the model builder and built into a system dynamics model in order to improve the problematic behavior of a system.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systems dynamics model that combines traditional feedback loop concepts with spiral loops to model both quantitative and qualitative changes in interactive processes. Spiral loops represent the ability of social systems to change their structures and are used to represent strategic decision-making at the top management level. The book demonstrates how to use this extended approach to model evolutionary processes, such as the transfer of know-how from multinational corporations to developing countries. The author presents a descriptive model of the know-how transfer process, which is based on empirical and secondary statistical investigations of Japanese, US-American, and German assembling industry multinational corporations. The descriptive model shows that the know-how transfer process is a process of structural change resulting from the interaction of multinational corporations, local corporations, and developing countries. Based on this descriptive model, the author develops a formal mathematical model that uses spiral loops to represent the qualitative changes in interaction processes. The book analyzes different patterns of this process with model tests in order to generate policy and strategy recommendations for managers of multinational corporations and politicians in developing countries. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling evolutionary processes and the transfer of know-how from multinational corporations to developing countries.
