This contribution aims to show a way towards better models for management support. We compare linear and nonlinear models in terms of their respective performance. Based on a case study, the respective benefits and shortcomings are fleshed out. A linear spreadsheet model and a nonlinear System Dynamics model are used to deal with one and the same issue: capacity planning in a large telecommunications company. Our analysis refers to both the qualities of the models and the process of model building in that firm. The necessity of non-linear models, when dealing with complex dynamic issues, is substantiated, and strategies for the implementation of such models in organizations are outlined.

Understanding the System Dynamics of High-Technology Markets : Pólya Processes with Positive Feedback, Path Dependence and Lock-In

This paper relies on complexity theory to gain new insights into the dynamics of high-technology markets. We are making use of the Pólya process model to explain these dynamics. This classical model highlights the "mechanism" of positive feedback, which gives rise to the phenomenon of path dependence and lock-in. Implications for management in high-technology markets are derived. Finally, some recommendations for the design of business innovations are given.
