Description: IntroIn an article from 1998 called "Designing the Future", Jay W. Forrester, a former MIT&nbsp;professor and the father of System Dynamics made a statement about the future of business schools:&nbsp; "Several decades of progress in system dynamics point to a new kind of management education. Such a future education will train a new kind of manager for the future. I&nbsp;anticipate future management schools devoted to enterprise design. Such business schools would train enterprise designers."Jay used the following argument in support of his prediction:&nbsp; "The difference between present management schools and those in the future will be as great as the difference between a trade school that trains airplane pilots and a university engineering department that trains aircraft engineers. Pilots will continue to be needed, So also, operating managers will be needed. However, just as successful aircraft are possible only through skilled designers, so in the future will successful corporations, countries, and social systems be possible through enterprise designers."This forward thinking by Jay Forrester was the inspiration for this course. This course introduces for the first time a complete and comprehensive approach to the enterprise design field. Easier said than doneBecause of the name design, a credible approach is possible only if we use the engineering approach in designing various enterprise components. And this is where we are encountering many challenges. Let's compare the designing of a plane with millions of parts by a team of aircraft engineers, with making a strategic decision by a top executive team. In the first case, the entire process is backed down by two elements. One element is the scientific knowledge, and the other one is the ability to <str
