"Enabling a Simulation Capability addresses the application of simulation modelling techniques in order to enable better informed decisions in business and industrial organisations." "The book's unique approach treats simulation not just as a technical tool, but within as a support for organisational decision making, showing the results from a survey of current and potential users of simulation to suggests reasons why the technique is not used as much as it should be and what are the barriers to its further use." "Enabling a Simulation Capability in the Organisation provides an introduction
