It aims at contributing to the consolidation of ABS as a field of applied research in management and organizational studies. Design/methodology/approach: The authors carried out a non-systematic search in literature published between 2000 and 2016, by using the keyword “agent-based” to search through Scopus’ business, management and accounting database. Additional search criteria were devised using the papers’ keywords and the categories defined by the divisions and interest groups of the Academy of Management. The authors found 181 articles for this survey. Findings: The survey shows that ABS provides a robust and rigorous framework to elaborate descriptions, explanations, predictions and theories about organizations and their processes as well as develop tools that support strategic and operational decision making and problem-solving. The authors show that the areas that report the highest number of applications are operations and logistics (37 percent), marketing (17 percent) and organizational behavior (14 percent). Originality/value: The paper illustrates the increasingly prominent role of ABS in fields such as organizational behavior, strategy, human resources, marketing and logistics. To-date, this is the most complete survey about ABS in all management areas. © 2017, © Nelson Alfonso Gómez-Cruz, Isabella Loaiza Saa, and Francisco Fernando Ortega Hurtado.application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1108/EJMBE-10-2017-01824448451https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/24008engEmerald Group Publishing Ltd.328No. 3313European Journal of Management and Business EconomicsVol. 26European Journal of Management and Business Economics, ISSN:24448451, Vol.26, No.3 (2017); pp. 313-328https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85037614104&doi=10.1108%2fEJMBE-10-2017-018&partnerID=40&md5=5a49ad6837c7af2b15e1099aba2b6636Abierto (Texto Completo)http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad del Rosarioreponame:Repositorio Institucional EdocURAgent-based simulationComplexityDecision makingOrganizational simulationOrganizational studiesSimulation as a methodAgent-based simulation in management and organizational studies: a surveyarticleArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Gómez Cruz, Nelson AlfonsoSaa, Isabella LoaizaHurtado, Francisco Fernando OrtegaORIGINAL10-1108_EJMBE-10-2017-018.pdfapplication/pdf211413https://repository.urosario.edu.co/bitstreams/c849e8c5-9e99-4885-ac64-8aaf2b03eeef/downloadf66eb8d428d18199ade607464267fc85MD51TEXT10-1108_EJMBE-10-2017-018.pdf.txt10-1108_EJMBE-10-2017-018.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain58951https://repository.urosario.edu.co/bitstreams/b4088842-b9da-4581-a982-5f50f16d9f1a/download41248a3053fa905eba47a63bbb5670c4MD52THUMBNAIL10-1108_EJMBE-10-2017-018.pdf.jpg10-1108_EJMBE-10-2017-018.pdf.jpgGenerated Thumbnailimage/jpeg4647https://repository.urosario.edu.co/bitstreams/e794aaca-cc85-4efa-9e0c-c8315732e23a/download4660bf1f093109033d062856105392d1MD5310336/24008oai:repository.urosario.edu.co:10336/240082022-05-02 07:37:21.342116https://repository.urosario.edu.coRepositorio institucional EdocURedocur@urosario.edu.co |
