Simulation modeling the spread of innovations

A simulation model that allows for finding solutions to improve production efficiency by means of consideration of interaction between innovative products and computation of the moment of its launch was developed. The model created on AnyLogic 7 platform is a multi-agent and uses the econophysics approach. Every innovative product developed in a company is a population of agents, and the copies of it are single agents. The model enables to select settings during each simulation. It is designed to be incorporated into ERP or used as a decision support system and as an independent tool while studying innovation systems at various levels (NIS, RIS, etc.).
