In this symposium, participants will be introduced to a variety of important management questions and will experience how current agent- based modeling experts are using these methods to explore those questions. In bringing agent-based modeling techniques into the spotlight, we hope to spark greater interest in the research methods community in learning more about this method and bringing more acceptance for these types of exploration to the field. The presenters in this symposium each used agent-based modeling to explore important micro- and macro-management topics in dynamic, systems-focused ways. The general topics covered in this session range from inequality in career advancement, organization accountability, honest and dishonest behaviors, identity and interpersonal teamwork behaviors, employee- focused investments, and decision-making systems in organizations. Each of these topics explores how decision-making has complex outcomes over time, which can affect others in many ways depending on the specific decisions made.
