A New Perspective for Accounting-Based Business Planning Simulation: An Integration with Agent-Based Simulation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Information Systems and Organisation ((LNISO,volume 6))

Abstract

This paper examines possible future developments of accounting-based business simulation models applied to business planning as knowledge generators. To this purpose, we tried to elaborate a theoretical framework by integrating system dynamics models and agent-based models. Although such an integration has already been put in practice for general purposes, it is still a new issue for planning and control systems.
