Synopsis
Explore how scientists turn individual decision-making theories into testable models of organizations.
This book shows how simulation can translate simple decision rules into empirical tests of organizational behavior. This work outlines a framework for creating and testing theories about how people solve problems in groups. It discusses the challenges of measuring and comparing outputs, and it explains how simulation can serve as a powerful tool for developing and evaluating empirical significance.
- How a postulate about invariant decision processes bridges individuals and organizations
- Methods for designing models, translating them to computers, and running empirical tests
- Techniques to assess when a model reproduces observed behavior and how to handle excess parameters
- Practical examples of simulating decision processes in investment and problem solving

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the analytical tool of simulation for empirical studies and testing of models in behavioral sciences. The historical development of behavioral theories has been marked by diverse methodologies arising from the proliferation of theories to explain and predict human behavior. Simulation has emerged as a powerful technique for the construction and testing of theories, especially those expressed in computer programs. The author critiques the current state of organizational theory, arguing that current theories do not meet the criteria of empirical testability, and thus cannot be considered part of empirical science. The author suggests the construction of a testable theory of organizational behavior from a theory of individual decision-making. The empirical validity of such a model can be assessed by conducting Turing Tests, which measure the degree to which the model's output aligns with observed human behavior. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the methodological issues surrounding simulation and its application in testing theories of human behavior, both individual and organizational. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
