Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to show that an agent paradigm may be considered as a powerful conceptual framework for organization modeling and testbed for business simulations. The sections of the paper gradually prove these theses. Firstly the agent orientation has been presented as a source of natural and very intuitive modeling constructs and complexity management tools. Then the classical model of supply chain simulation was altered to its agent version. Finally the case study concerning the agent based simulation experiment of supply chain has been elaborated and results of the simulation runs carefully analyzed as well as interpreted.
