چکیده
Regions are evolutionary and dynamic, and examining the notion of sustainability requires a new way of thinking about systems and communities. Improving the sustainability of a region must take into account the interconnections and interdependence of the economic, social, environmental and governance systems. Pursuing the goal of sustainability requires continual monitoring and reassessment. The Regional Development Futures (RDF) framework developed by a multidisciplinary group of scientists in Australia is being used to develop location-specific sustainability options. The methods and techniques combine systems thinking and collegiate research approaches. The RDF provides processes that ensure ‘the future is everyone’s business’, as well as simulation modelling underpinned by quantitative data to allow evidence-based decision-making. A central feature of the framework is ensuring regions acquire the systems processes, skills and systems tools to ensure sustained learning. Examples from a number of case studies are used to demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.

A Global Social Support System: What the International Community Could Learn From the United States’ National Basketball Association’s Scheme for Redistribution of New Talent
If global trade were fair, it is argued, then international aid would be unnecessary and inequalities inherent to the economic system would be justifiable. Here, we argue that while global trade is unfair, in part because richer countries set the rules, we believe that additional interventions must go beyond trade regulation and short-term aid to redress inequalities among countries that will p...
متن کاملSystem Dynamics Modeling in Entrepreneurship Research: A Review of the Literature
System dynamics is a strategic approach for modeling complex systems and analyzing their behavior. Dynamic behavior in entrepreneurial system can be modeled using System Dynamics Approach and dynamic hypotheses about the system`s behavior can be proposed and tested using simulation and computer aided tools. However, as the review of literature shows, studies which link system dynamics modeling ...
متن کاملThe Bright Elusive Butterfly of Value in Health Technology Development; Comment on “Providing Value to New Health Technology: The Early Contribution of Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Regulatory Agencies”
The current system of health technology development is characterised by multiple misalignments. The “supply” side (innovation policy-makers, entrepreneurs, investors) and the “demand” side (health policy-makers, regulators, health technology assessment, purchasers) operate under different – and conflicting – logics. The system is less a “pathway” than an unstable ecosystem of multiple interacti...
