Description
Developing an Agent-Based Model: A Practical Guide Davide Secchi introduces agent-based modelling (ABM) to those new to computational simulation. This book explains how ABM can be used to study management and organisational systems, highlighting its suitability for complex social systems. Secchi guides the reader through a step-by-step process on how to develop a computational simulation using NetLogo, one of the most widely used agent-based software platforms. With an emphasis on applications and practical examples, this book makes ABM accessible to non-modellers. It is a valuable resource for business and management students embarking on a dissertation project, as well as PhD students and academics looking to apply ABM in their research. By following Secchi's approach, readers can develop a computational simulation that applies theoretical concepts to real-world problems. This book provides a hands-on guide to getting started with agent-based modelling.
