Simulation Model of Managing the Development of Business System of a Nautical and Tourist Port

A nautical and tourist port (NTP) has all the characteristics of a complex organization and a business system, for which dynamics modelling of business development sophisticated methods of simulation techniques have to be used. System dynamics (MIT, Forrester) is one of the most well-known sophisticated types of continuous simulation of complex realities (Forrester, 1975). Besides, it represents a complex methodology of scientific research, modelling, simulation, an optimization of complex dynamics systems (Senge, 1994) to which the modelled business system of NTP, presented in this paper, also belongs. The methodology of system dynamics is based on the basic concepts of system approach and cybernetics, especially the concept of feed-back loops, and cause-consequence link, using at the same time fast and precise digital computers (Coyle, 1996). In this paper, the business system of NTP will be presented through mental and verbal model and structural model of the system. For the business system the authors have developed integral quality (mental and verbal model, structural model and structural flow diagram) and quantity (mathematical and computerized) models. Integral simulation models provide possibility of efficient analysis of the observed business system dynamics and quality business decision-making which will ensure its existence, growth an development (Munitić, 1989).
