Your readings in this unit, along with the two sources that you located on systems modeling for decision making in IT, evaluate and analyze the applicability of system simulations in policy-making. Address the following:
- How is the model-based policy design different from intuitive policymaking?
- What are the techniques currently used to build models?
- How does system models assist with decision making?
Your paper should be approximately 500 words and demonstrate proper APA formatting and style. You do not need to include a cover page or abstract, but be sure to include your name, assignment title, and page number in the running header of each page.
