Abstract

this deficiency, the holistic approach (system thinking) used to study the impact of level of access to financial resources on investment growth, in this article. System Dynamics (SD) method used in this article as a tool for the implementation of system thinking approach to use its capabilities in complex systems modeling and for achieving suitable results from simulation model. The population under study is Fars province's agricultural processing industries. Period of study is 1360-1410. Vensim software used for modeling and simulating in this article. The results from the simulation of designed model showed, there is direct and interactive relationship between level of access to financial resources and amount of industrial investment.
