Paperback. Etat : 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.
