Simulation, Research methods, ManagementAbstract
Computer simulations are becoming more and more popular amongst researchers. This is proven by a growing number of scientific papers in which simulations are carried out as a method to verify various hypotheses. However management sciences make relatively little use thereof. The aim of the paper is to present computer simulations and, in particular, tools to model them, as well as the application possibilities of this research method.
