Using Behavioral Simulations to Study Strategic Processes

behavioral approach to strategic management

the complexity and development of business decision making is in need of strategic management. the management of the internal affairs of a company is only a part of managers function. a through and appropriate approach to the dynamics of external environment of organization such as the competitors, suppliers, the ever decreasing and scarce resources, the government sponsored rules and regulatio...

Computer Simulations to Study Sympatric Speciation Processes

We perform simulations based on the Penna model for biological ageing, now with the purpose of studying sympatric speciation, that is, the division of a single species into two or more populations, reproductively isolated, but without any physical barrier separating them. For that we introduce a new kind of competition among the individuals, using a modified Verhulst factor. The new competition...

Strategic and Behavioral Decomposition

It is shown how to decompose all 2×2×· · ·×2 games into their strategic and behavioral parts. The strategic part of this unique decomposition contains all information needed to determine a strategic outcome, such as the Nash or Quantal Response Equilibria (QRE), while the behavioral portion captures the game’s portion that can lead to other means of analysis, such as tit-for-tat, side-payments,...

Using Microgenetic Designs to Study Change Processes

The process of change represents a main, central issue for the study of development. Basic and applied researchers in developmental science have aimed their research work at answering several key questions related to the problem of change. How does change occur? What mechanisms produce change? What conditions are likely to promote the emergence of change in development? Another related question...
