PhD research: ‘Individuals and Organizations’

Martin Helmhout’s research has focussed on the design and implementation of such a simulation model. His study mainly concerns the relationship between the behaviour of individuals (micro-level) who form an organization and the behaviour of the organization as a whole (macro-level).
