Specialization: Computer modeling for policy analysis and group decision support
George P. Richardson's teaching and research
center on computer-based tools and analyses for public administration
and policy. His recent work has focused on public policy problems
in social welfare and the use of formal computer-based modeling
methods to help groups move toward policy consensus in complex
dynamic systems. He founded and served for seven years as the
executive editor of the System Dynamics Review and is the
author of Introduction to System Dynamics Modeling with Dynamo
(1981), Feedback Thought in Social Science and Systems Theory
(1991), both of which were honored with the System Dynamics Society's
Forrester Award, and the edited two-volume collection Modelling
for Management: Simulation in Support of Systems Thinking
(1996).
