MGMT 637, Semester 1 2017 Systems modelling exercise, worth 15% of the final grade Due date: Friday 2 June 2017 Directions: In this exercise, you will use, modify, and integrate a system dynamics model using the computer program Stella Architect (instructions for downloading the 30-day workshop version will be provided in class). You will be graded on the basis of a short write-up of the questions given in the handout and your modification to the provided model as noted below. Please download the activity file at http://public.wsu.edu/~forda/Hog%20Cycle%20C%20and%20M%20Producers%20June%202012.pdf, which has the list of questions you will answer. Separately, you should also download the file found at http://public.wsu.edu/~forda/Hog%20Cycle%20Jan%202015.pdf for a more general discussion of the model. We’ll talk about the general model in class. I will send you the file in STELLA separately by email. Please answer questions 1-9 on page 3 of the activity sheet, using runs from the model to answer these questions. Please provide a short (one-sentence) explanation of your answers. Each question will be worth 9 points (so 81 points in total for the 9 questions). On page 4, please answer question 10 and provide a short (one-paragraph) summary of your findings. This question will be worth 19 points. On page 4, please answer either question 11 or question 12. This will require you to do a little bit of modelling to add to the existing model. For this answer, please send your new, modified model and in either a text box on the model file itself or in a separate file, provide a one- to two-paragraph explanation of what you did and what you found. This question is worth 50 points.
