“…In the late 1950s, SD originated from the work of Jay W. Forrester as a simulation method for understanding a complex system (Forrester, 1961;Sterman, 2018). SD is particularly useful for gaining insight into a system characterised by delays, non-linearity and feedbacks (Luna-Reyes and Andersen, 2003;Mollona, 2008;Sterman, 1989Sterman, , 2000. Moreover, this simulation approach allows the adoption of a systemic perspective for mapping value generation processes, which is particularly useful for the modelling of SC.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to determine how a strategic innovation framework that integrates the concepts of innovation function, dynamic performance management (DPM) and system-dynamics (SD) modelling can measure performance in a supply chain (SC).Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides a strategic innovation framework for an SC by considering three steps. First, a systemic intervention is presented based on the innovation functions that influence SC performance. Second, an analysis of the system's performance is proposed. Third, a model SD-based simulation is designed. The developed framework is explained by employing a case study of the Colombian pig sector SC.FindingsThe results reveal that identifying and synchronising the system's performance drivers associated with the innovation functions could improve the inventory in the SC.Practical implicationsOn the one hand, managers can use the proposed framework to evaluate the innovation investments and understand their impact on operation performance (e.g. on inventories). On the other hand, policymakers may support decision-making to improve policy design (e.g. through investment in R&D).Originality/valueFew studies discuss the impacts of innovation functions on SC performance. This paper aims to fill this theoretical gap and to contribute to the literature by suggesting a novel framework which includes innovation functions.

There is an intense discussion on the impact of the quality of patents on innovation and economic development. Consequently, measuring the quality of patents becomes an essential issue to understand how it affects the innovation system (IS). This paper shows a systematic review of patent quality indicators and their contribution to the literature. Additional to the systematic review, a dynamic behaviour hypothesis is developed to comprise how patent value indicators can be used to create a set of strategies to improve the innovation of the renewable energy sector. Our results show a novel framework for analysing the effects of patent value on the IS that could be useful for renewable energy diffusion in Latin-America.

“…Modeling with system dynamics includes the formulation of complex problems (Mollona 2008;J. D. Sterman 2003) and the construction of a dynamic hypothesis supported by different causal diagrams that unify the mental models of the actors involved in the process within its methodology (Martínez Marín and Arango Aramburo 2017;Radzicki and Tauheed 2009).…”

This study makes a systemic review to cluster and create a competitiveness relationship considering a systems dynamics approach. A dynamic hypothesis was constructed to validate what factors increase a cluster’s level of competitiveness, through causal analysis. Then, the causal diagram that validates the dynamic H0 hypothesis was constructed in Vensim PLE systems®. Literature review shows the evolution of the cluster system according to the current needs of the market, and emphasizes the need for new approaches and models that capture the complexity and dynamics of this system, allowing the understanding of its structure and the evaluation of the contribution of factors and capabilities to cluster competitiveness. It highlights the usefulness of systems dynamics as a simulation methodology for dynamic and complex systems, and establishes itself as a growing line of research applied to various systems of study. Dynamic hypothesis H0 was validated using the causal diagram, reaching the conclusion that innovation, productive management, financial management, organizational management, commercial management, and cluster management factors positively increase the cluster competitiveness level. From structure analysis, the behavior is associated to the archetype “Path Dependence”, usual in growing industrial markets.
