System Dynamics Glossary
What is the meaning of Pressure point?
A pressure point is a point at which
a change intervention is applied. Pressure points carry an implication
of an investment, or choice, which is made only once,
after which the system will run under the influence of
that choice. Naturally, one seeks to find the pressure points
which will make [the system being studied] run in the
most effective manner possible, so pressure point analysis
is still policy analysis, albeit of a slightly different type.
Equally naturally, there is no hard-and-fast dividing line between the
different modes of analysis and, in practice, a given study
may involve both types (Coyle, 1996; 222).
