El arquetipo sistémico de la tragedia del terreno común basado en la dinámica de sistemas ilustrado a través del uso del dinero en las actividades de una empresa

Abstract

The system dynamics and their systemic archetypes determine the correlations between different subsystems and decisions, showing the cycles that decisions give and the interrelationships between these cycles, and what directions or behaviors generate these interrelations with the objective of guide better sets of results in the studied systems. The archetype of the tragedy of the commons is manifested when the use of a shared resource is done individually by the actors who need it in order to obtain benefits from it without considering that in the future said resource will be depleted, decreasing rewards without regard for effort put into extracting the resource. Here capital is the common resource for the development of company's activities where, under an initial non-holistic decision, the system can generate increasing profits but with a decompensation in the subsystems, they decrease. The system is modeled and with the simulation data on Vensim it is demonstrated that the expected behavior according to the archetype is obtained and with the same data analyzed statistically from an individual and collective perspective on Minitab can generate an optimal configuration to avoid the presence of the tragedy of the commons and maximize the fulfillment of a set of objectives
