Dynamic hypothesis

Dynamic hypotheses are sets of statements and representations of the causes and how these produce changes over time. Dynamic hypotheses are evaluated through iterative processes that involve building and testing systems dynamics models then critically comparing their behaviour with that we see in the real world. The purpose of any model we create is to provide an experimental framework for testing our dynamic hypotheses* and new managerial policies we might be considering for subsequent implementation. Every model must be built with the aim of enhancing our understanding of complex problems that we cannot fully understand without having a model to help us.
