Abstract
This paper describes the application of System Dynamics (SD) in developing strategies to improve design management. The problem has a significant disciplinary breadth, from internal individual functioning to national political agendas. An unusual feature of this use of SD is its focus on meta-theoretically structuring existing theories, which contrasts with traditional SD methods that model the physical phenomena directly. This approach resulted in the development of a modified SD method using layered, interconnected SD graphs.
