Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used is multi‐agent simulation. It is little used compared to …‐agent simulation is a metaphor of the real world that makes virtual agents (consumers and suppliers) compete; these agents are provided …

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a model and simulation results for the corporate financial value of … previously published simulation studies in agriculture and food markets since system dynamics (SD) is applied in modeling both … input production and consumption and the processor's financial value. SD modeling is well suited to simulation in a critical …
