Simulation-based decision support is a holistic methodology for decision assessment in organizations. System dynamics is a proper methodology for modeling and testing the dynamic hypotheses of organizational systems. The role of subjects in model development and its validation from cybernetic, psychological and cognitive perspectives are discussed in this paper. Group participation in model building and validation is suggested in order to prevent the manipulation of dominant subjects and/or implicit dictators during modeling. This paper concludes with some useful examples of systems simulation in solving real problems.

A group of 118 graduate students participated in the experiment under four conditions : a1) decision making with application of the simulation model with pretest, a2) decision making with application of the simulation model and group information feedback with pretest, a3) decision making with application of the simulation model without pretest, and a4) decision making with application of the simulation model and group information feedback without pretest. The criteria function and number of simulation runs were observed. The hypothesis that decision-making using a simulation model and group feedback improve criteria function was confirmed. The model of learning during the decision process was developed. Fri, 13 Sep 2024 13:26:30 +0200 Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:39:49 +0200 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=3254
