November 21, 12:00 – 1:30PM
Social Ecology I, Room 306
About the Workshop
In this workshop we will discuss how simulation models, particularly agent-based models, are used in management and organization research. The aim of this workshop is to help students not familiar with agent-based modeling to gain a basic understanding of the strengths and limitations of this method. James March’s (1991) paper and model of organizational learning will serve as an illustrative example.
