Abstract:

This paper aims to examine the literatures with regard to the application of system dynamic (SD) in construction project management published from 1998 to 2012 . By using the content analysis method, we divided the concerned literatures into four categories:(1) application in performance; (2)application in analyzing dynamic factors; (3) application in modeling; (4) application in evaluation. Based on the categorical review on the applications of SD in construction project management,we found that SD is an appropriate method for understanding and managing the dynamics and complexity of construction projects from a dynamic and holistic view. However, this research topic are not well developed for the limited literatures and there is still a lot of research work needs to be done. And therefore, the implications for the future research directions were presented and an increasing trend of applying the SD techniques in construction project management research is observed.
