Considers computer simulation as a method for studying the behaviour of business systems under a variety of assumed conditions for analysing the simultaneous interaction of many variables to produce valuable insights into problems. Looks at how simulations can help to provide answers to complex decisions and problems which cannot be solved by conventional methods.
