Decision Making Using Systems Modelling

    What is the future of the broader field of systems modeling and simulation? What are the simulation models currently utilized in the field of policy-making? Module 5 covers the recent and current revolutions in modeling and simulation for model-based analysis and decision making. Your readings in this unit, along with the two sources that you located on systems modeling for decision making in IT, evaluate and analyze the applicability of system simulations in policy-making. Address the following: How is the model-based policy design different from intuitive policy making? What are the techniques currently used to build models? How does system models assist with decision making? Reference Janssen, M., Wimmer, M. A., & Deljoo, A. (Eds.). (2015).
