Abstract
Stakeholders of a complex agent-based model (ABM) need to understand and accredit the ABM, that contains the results of scenario analysis provided by ABM analysts, when we design management systems in an organization with social simulation. There are two problems for understanding and accrediting complex ABMs: (1) The results described by complex micro–macro dynamics often hinder the stakeholders from understanding the results by reading analysts’documents; (2) Most stakeholders adhere to find a difference between the reality itself and the ABM that consists of essential factors. We proposed a methodology that facilitates stakeholders to understand an ABM by playing a card game with adequate similarities to the ABM, and we confirmed whether the methodology can generate effective card games by having four preliminary experiments.
