Autoridad líder de hoy sobre el tema de este texto es el autor, el MIT Standish Profesor de Dirección y Director del Grupo de Dinámica del sistema, John D. Sterman. El objetivo de Sterman es explicar, en un formato de libro de texto de verdad, lo que la dinámica del sistema es, y cómo puede ser aplicado con éxito para resolver negocios y problemas de organización. La dinámica de sistemas es a la vez un enfoque actualmente utilizado para la solución de un problema de organización a nivel profesional, y un campo de estudio en los negocios, la ingeniería y las ciencias sociales y físicas.
