Abstract

The paper reviews the concepts of system dynamics and its applications to the simulation modeling of financial institutions daily activity. While widely applicable, the approach is of a particular interest in transitional and developing economies. The hybrid method of banking business processes re-engineering based on a combination of system dynamics, queuing theory and ordinary differential equations (Kolmogorov equations) is introduced. By the way of method illustration, we consider the promotion of a set of banking products among some categories of clients.
