Hi, all!

I was thinking about the vantages in using sistem dynamics. Among the more important question seens to be the following:
"A result R depend on a list of factors F1,F2,...Suppose that R, F1,F2 can be modeled as stockes. Those factors interages by a dynamical manner by relations R1,R2 which can be modeled as fluxes. So, What factors and relations are more determinant to R?
Or, what factors can be excluded so that the result does not change much?
The importance of a given factor is the same all the time? Are there factors which generated a virtuous circle?

By these answers, we can determine the priorities for the management.
