Construction of a flexible simulation model of a corporation
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2019, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
The instability of the real structure of a firm is one of the fundamental problems in simulating microeconomic systems. This paper proposes a method, called ACV (abstraction – gradual concretization – verification) for constructing a flexible simulation model of a corporation. This method is based on the assumption that an effective approach to simulating a microeconomic system should take into account the structural instability of the modelled object. Practical implementation of the ACV method is illustrated using the EK_AN simulator of a firm. The purpose of the simulator as a scientific tool of operations research is to analyse the relations of given inputs (decisions) with the short- and mediumterm forecasts of a firm’s economic performance.
