- sudosysgen 5y agoIt probably should - both Stafford Beer and Jay Forrester came up with very similar solutions to the same problems, but AFAIK Beer applied them in a dynamic way earlier. If you want to be absolutely pedantic however, technically systems dynamics typically refers to Jay Forrester's lineage. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say, operational research applied to organizations?
