This course teaches how agent-based simulation helps understand innovation management. The aim of this course is to acquire analytical skills which are required to learn and to conduct research on technology management.
Agent-based simulation is a good tool to grasp the essence of individuals and organizations. In this course, the students will learn and exercise the methodology of agent-based simulation.
In this course, the students will learn:
1) how to grasp the cause-and-effect relationship in innovation management and make a model to describe it qualitatively and quantitatively.
2) how to program and simulate the model.
3) how to interprete the results properly by comparison with practice.
