Bibliography on the Use of Simulation in Management Analysis

Abstract

Computer simulation, as a problem-solving technique, is now proving to be of increasing value as part of research and design methods directed towards attaining a better understanding and improved control of the operations of complex business and military organization. In system simulation the computer is typically utilized in problem-solving associated with the specific tasks of designing better systems, understanding the workings of operative systems, and studying man-machine interactions. Literature dealing with system simulation is appearing more frequently, but still sporadic enough to warrant the collection here of a number of individual titles that have proved of special interest. This bibliography represents a fair sampling of simulation literature to date. For the convenience of the user, industrial and military applications have been kept separate. Finally, a number of titles on simulation training games and exercises have been included.
