El proceso de difusión de la Dinámica de Sistemas, como metodología para el examen de problemas organizacionales mediante el modelado y la simulación, ha sido comparativamente más lento que el experimentado por otras técnicas gerenciales. Esto puede ser un indicio de que no se ha capitalizado decididamente su caudal de conocimientos prácticos. Estas limitaciones podrían superarse mediante esfuerzos de síntesis y de generalización del vasto cúmulo de casos reales de uso de la Dinámica de Sistemas reportados en la literatura, es decir, a través de la reutilización de modelos en Dinámica de Sistemas. En este artículo se establecen, en primer lugar, los logros que hasta ahora se han obtenido en la reutilización de modelos en Dinámica de Sistemas. A partir de este análisis, se demarca un área aún no desarrollada que promete innovaciones metodológicas en la reutilización de modelos de modo que se podrían abrir nuevas puertas de acceso a la Dinámica de Sistemas.
In so called "developing countries" justice, or rather the lack of it, has become a dominant theme in the lives of millions of citizens. Both, in national and international arenas, the citizens of these countries have to face situations of brutal violation of human rights, extremely unjust distribution of their nations' wealth, generalized corruption of their leaders and institutions (e.g. the administration of justice, public health care, etc.), unfair trade with the economic powers of the world, etc.These In order to tackle these and other related questions, we started a project two years ago, based on the principles and concepts of interpretive systemology (López-Garay, 1986; Fuenmayor, 1991a,b). Our research has been focused on the phenomenon of injustice in Venezuela. Our starting point has been the current social debate to reform justice (both social and penal justice) in Venezuela. In particular, we are investigating what conception of justice is embodied in the reform proposed by the state. We want to find out what is the "order of things" (i.e., the cultural context of meaning) to which such a notion of justice might be paying tribute. The preliminary outcomes of this research have opened the way to the design of a counter reform, based on an entirely different conception of the world. A debate between the two reforms will be conducted and its outcomes will help us not only to gain a holistic understanding of justice, but also to bring forth some of the features of what it looks as the emergence of a new epoch. The paper intends to be an illustration of a new systemic way of "managing" complex social issues, a way that is in contrast with some current practices in management and systems sciences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
