Excerpt from Simulation and a Theory of Organizational Behavior
The history of the behavioral sciences is a history of a large number of attempts to construct theories to explain and predict a wide variety of individual and group behavior. In fact, diversity is one of its chief characteristics, where the variety is reflected both in the languages and the techniques with which its theories are formulated and discussed. In keeping with this pronounced tendency toward heterogeneity, the advent of computer simulation has stimulated the development of a further set of behavioral theories. Formerly theories of human behavior were stated either in prose or in mathematical notation. More recently the ability to simulate the behavior of divers systems on a computer has led to the inclusion of computer programs as a method of expressing theories of individual and group behavior.' Indeed, simulation has been proposed as a new and powerful technique for assisting in the development and testing.
