Abstract :
The purpose of the paper is to describe several recent applications of enterprise simulation. An enterprise simulation is a simulation which is constructed with a top-down view of a business enterprise and which is intended to serve as a decision support tool for decision makers. Examples are taken from the domain areas of transportation, urban operations, supply chain management, entertainment, and manufacturing. The objective is to help clarify the meaning of the term enterprise simulation and to promote its use as an important management tool
