Models of an artificial society in intellectual capital study

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of using artificial societies as special cases of computer agent models for the purpose of studying intellectual capital. Three models that fall under the category of "artificial society" were analyzed: the Sugarscape model, the individual-oriented model for the emergence of despotic and egalitarian societies, and the social network model. Each of the studied models was complicated taking into account the introduction/presence of the category of intellectual capital, as a result of which new non-trivial conclusions were obtained. In general, the assumption about the possibility of using the presented models for the purpose of studying and researching intellectual capital was confirmed in the course of the work.
