Refugees vs. Migrants - a possible solution to Germany's refugee dilemma by Kai Neumann

We are in the midst of an escalation of attitudes against refugees and politics with our media reporting that we have reached limits, with the use of suggestive questions in almost every interview. The existing models on the refugee crisis on know-why.net predicted that: https://www.know-why.net/model/CY7aksh7qgaQkCiULQUJN1A  The consequence will be right wing movements and while media thinks it should warn of a threat of right wing movements it actually fuels them. However, now we need to find a clever ...

I am right - you are wrong, and I am not emotional by Susanne

This model is a reaction on one of the many fruitless discussions on social media where people resist the most rational and logical arguments in order to keep their mental model and also to feel good by thinking they are better than others. Psychology knows (at least) three mechanisms to protect one's feeling of integration (see Kai Neumann's model on this: https://www.know-why.net/model/Atxrf7zQLpoe5JP2Uvumyjw): cognitive dissonance (my final choice is good, everything else was bad) psychological reacta...

The rise of resistance against climate policies by Kai Neumann

Whether it is Germany's "Heizungsgesetz" or the European Union's "Renaturation Law" there is a certain pattern how resistance evolves. Recently I was on workation sailing the Baltic Sea observing lots of signs of movements against the implementation of protected natural habitats in the Baltic Sea. The fishing 'industry', the tourism, and the water sports enthusiasts all seem united in their protest against the protection of the Baltic Sea. Fact is, that the Baltic Sea is in an extremely poor condition ca...

Competitive Incentives: Working Harder or Working Smarter? Improvement Management by Michael Nesser

Actually, it should only be a small excercise - to test the imodeler. But the results of the model are really worth to be posted here. The model is based on the findings of the following research, I've only added a few points:  Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems that Never Happened: Creating And Sustaining Process Improvement (Nelson P. Repenning, John D. Sterman). http://web.mit.edu/nelsonr/www/Repenning=Sterman_CMR_su01_.pdf The findings are not really new, but still valid and relevant.

The news: is the world getting better or worse by Kai Neumann

The Model asks: do we need so many negative news if actually the world is better off? As explained in the presenter (Menu... Presenter) the model argues that it takes both, positive and negative news.  Interestingly there are some figures that suggest that the world is better off. What we do not know, though, is whether we could have been living in a way better world and if the world would have been as it is without negative news. http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/12/good-news-in-2015...
