Abstract

Today, product counterfeiting and piracy are fully recognised as essential business risks in nearly any industry domain. Remedies to end this threat have been researched more than 30 years – yet, this scourge is prevailing. Recent research indicates that decision makers have not yet been enabled to fully understand the scope and implications of the phenomenon in a strategic management context. In particular decision support tools stand for an immediate research and management need. This short contribution aims at closing this gap by proposing a System Dynamics framework for counterstrategy evaluation.
