Econometrics, Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) and System Dynamics (SD) are modelling paradigms which facilitate the building of dynamic models that are characteristic of the organisational context. These three paradigms have important differences that can determine their suitability to analysing organisational problems. This paper firstly describes the Econometrics, System Dynamics (SD) and Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) modelling paradigms. Secondly, the paper studies how these three paradigms can analyse organisational problems by means of a model developed using each of the three paradigms. Finally, the paper provides some considerations towards a method for validating the assumptions of how the paradigms fit with the requirements to study an organisational problem.

Con el objeto de analizar las ventajas y desventajas de cada paradigma de modelización frente al tratamiento de variables soft se presenta la exploración de un caso modelizado en dichos paradigmas. Se concluye que si bien la Econometría presenta características interesantes para complementar la Dinámica de Sistemas, esta última y la Modelación Basada en Agentes son más adecuadas para incorporar variables soft.

Despite substantial investment to develop the infrastructure, many countries have experienced slow adoption rates for broadband. This chapter develops a view of UK broadband adoption using dynamic modeling techniques based on an existing statistical study. The contrasting approaches to modeling are compared. Principles of a dynamic modeling system are introduced and an appropriate form for broadband adoption chosen. The process of building a dynamic model based on an existing static model of broadband adoption is presented. Finally, the new perspective of the dynamic model is explored using the causal loop analysis technique.
