5.0 out of 5 stars
An exciting future for organizational analysis!,
By Howard Aldrich (Chapel Hill, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dynamics of Organizations: Computational Modeling and Organizational Theories (Paperback)
Lomi and Larsen recruited an outstanding set of authors to explain and apply a new generation of agent-based computational models to the problem of organizational change. Using state-of-the-art simulation methods, with clear explanations and superior examples, the various chapters show how principles from genetic algorithms, neural networks, and cellular automata can be applied to the emergence, persistence, and disbanding of organizations (and other hierarchical macrostructures). I particularly liked their well-considered decision to emphasize multiple levels of analysis within the same models. This is a sourcebook that advanced students of organization studies should have on their shelf.
