Culture and Demography in Organizations

While simulation has become a fairly common tool in the kit of biological and physical scientists, its use remains relatively rare in sociology, as well as other social sciences. In at least one sense, this relative rarity should come as a surprise. Given the complexity of the systems that sociology studies, its emphasis on the importance of interactions between elements, and the distaste that many sociologist have for the simplifying assumptions made in economics, one might expect sociologists to embrace simulation as a tool for building theory.
