This paper presents an approach to develop a system dynamics model for the evaluation of the productivity of knowledge-intensive services. This model is based on the results of a case study as well as on literature research. At first, this paper gives a short introduction about knowledge-intensive services and the system dynamics method. The identified variables as well as their causal relationships will be presented in the following sections. A recapitulation of the findings and a prospect on further research conclude the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
