Abstract

A number of studies from a management perspective distinguish various types and levels of learning. The extent to which actual management decisions take into account such frameworks and lead to innovative services is limited. Increasingly, organisations address these issues by employing system dynamics modelling and simulation (SDMS) with the aim to facilitate learning about industrial service aspects and, ultimately, to offer innovative industrial services. Yet, there is no explicit research assessing the extent to which the employment of SDMS enhances learning in industrial service organisations. The goal of this paper is to investigate this. More specifically, in this paper we link SDMS aspects to critical reflective learning as an antecedent factor of innovation. We provide support for our proposed linkages with a case study, in which we illustrate the effects of SDMS on critical reflective learning within the context of an organisation, which has employed SDMS when developing industrial service strategies.
