Computational Modeling for What-Is, What-Might-Be, and What-Should-Be Studies—And Triangulation
Organization Science · 2011 · Volume 22 · Issue 5
Abstract
In this essay, we examine what-is, what-might-be, and what-should-be computational models where the purpose is to explore new concepts, ideas, boundaries, and limitations going beyond what we know at the moment. Computational models complement well with other approaches: ethnographies, field studies, human subject lab studies, and surveys in novel triangulations. Triangulation of two or more complementary approaches permits us to broaden and deepen our understanding and insights.
