This chapter has been developed for the ITF project teams and collaborative organizations specifically, but it is a useful reference for project teams working with multiple partners or stakeholders. This chapter is the result of the author's Engineering Doctorate research on “Enhancing the Commercialization Success of Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) R&D Projects in Hong Kong's Logistics and Supply Chain Industry.” It takes the readers through the process from project identification to commercialization. The process described in the chapter has been effectively implemented in a recent ITF project in Hong Kong's logistics and supply chain industry. The chapter is a useful standard operations procedure (SOP) for collaborative R&D project teams.","PeriodicalId":436923,"journal":{"name":"Managing Operations Throughout Global Supply Chains","volume":"234 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115752279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

System dynamics approach was developed by Jay Forrester from MIT during the 1950s to analyze especially the complex behavior in administration with computer simulation in social sciences. System dynamics is a form of systems approach as a methodology to understand the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The basis of system dynamics is to understand how system structures cause system behavior and system events. System dynamics deals with how things change over time. Almost all are interested in how the past formed the present moment and how today's actions determine the future.","PeriodicalId":436923,"journal":{"name":"Managing Operations Throughout Global Supply Chains","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115421897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
