This title covers topics from modeling and simulation to games and
entertainment. With contributions from leaders in systems and
organizational modeling, behavioral and social sciences, computing
and visualization, and gaming and entertainment, "Organizational
Simulation" both articulates the grand vision of immersive
environments and shows, in detail, how to realize it. This book
offers unparalleled insight into the cutting edge of the field,
since it was written by those who actually researched, designed,
developed, deployed, marketed, sold, and critiqued today's best
organizational simulations.The coverage in this book is divided
into four sections. Introduction - it outlines the need for
organizational simulation to support strategic thinking, design of
unprecedented systems, and organizational learning, including the
functionality and technology required to enable this support.
Behaviors - it covers the state of knowledge of individual, group,
and team behaviors and performance, how performance can best be
supported, how performance is affected by national differences, and
how organizational performance can best be measured.Modeling -
describes the latest approaches to modeling and simulating people,
groups, teams, and organizations, as well as narrative contexts and
organizational environments within which these entities act,
drawing from a rich set of modeling methods and tools. Simulations
and Games - illustrates a wide range of fielded simulations, games,
and entertainment, including the methods and tools employed for
designing, developing, deploying, and evaluating these systems, as
well as the social implications for the associated communities that
have emerged. Addressing all levels of organizational simulation
architecture with theories and applications, and enabling
technologies for each, "Organizational Simulation" offers students
and professionals the premier reference and practical toolbox for
this dynamic field.
