Some more general systems-oriented and cross-functional simulatins, which
are based on field research, are available from Microworlds. I think their
URL is www.microworlds.com. The researcher most involved was, I believe,
John Sterman at MIT.

The company Microworlds, Inc., which commercialized the MIT simulation
models, merged with GKA, Inc. a couple of years ago. I think several of
these simulations are pretty interesting and I use them in some of my
teaching. ...Rick]
