A critical review of system dynamics modelling in construction management research

As an effective modelling method for large-scale systems of high complexities, the system dynamics (SD), mainly based on feedback structures, has been increasingly used in the construction management research. However, a systematic review of this area is unavailable until date. This chapter presents a systematic analysis of 100 papers from 40 peer-reviewed journals. Useful data have been found in terms of years of publication, contribution by individuals and research institutions, citations of the selected papers and relevant research topics. These results are beneficial for future research of SD in the construction management field.
