Virtual organizational design laboratory: Agent-based modeling of the co-evolution of social service delivery networks with population dynamics

作者:

Highlights:

• Intelligent agents can recreate complex interactions of a service delivery network.

• Virtual research laboratories allow exploring organizational design policies.

• Design of experiments validate design factors affecting emergent network behaviors.

• Supports teaching and learning of implications of system architecture decisions.

• Dynamics of markets’ demography affect network performance and survivability.
