About:

Computational models are gaining increasing attention in the management literature. They allow modeling and analyzing the behavior of complex systems of interacting agents and experimenting with different interaction structures, such as markets, networks, and organizations. As such, they are an excellent tool for studying the aggregation of distributed action, a central topic of interest in behavioral strategy. In its third installment, this workshop will give the participants an opportunity to interact with prominent scholars in the field and to work and practice modeling in an interactive session. In the first part of the workshop, the panel will discuss the role of formal models in behavioral strategy, address the process of designing and implementing a computational model, and outline the most interesting and challenging future applications of computational models.

In the interactive session, we will discuss and practice modeling mutual learning in organizations. Bring your laptops for this part. We will explore how ChatGPT can help us to be better modelers.

The workshop is open to participants with or without prior experience in programming and modeling.
