Sinossi
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.
