Using the agent-based model of Miller et al. (2012), which depicts how di erent types of individuals’ memory a ect the formation and performance of organizational routines, we show how a replicated simulation model can be used to develop theory. We also assess how standards, such as the ODD (Overview, Design concepts, and Details) protocol and DOE (design of experiments) principles, support the replication, evaluation, and further analysis of this model. Using the verified model, we conduct several simulation experiments as examples of di erent types of theory development. First, we show how previous theoretical insights can be generalized by investigating additional scenarios, such as mergers. Second, we show the potential of replicated simulation models for theory refinement, such as analyzing in-depth the relationship between memory functions and routine performance or routine adaptation.

通过重复模拟的理论发展和标准的附加值

使用 Miller 等人的基于代理的模型。（2012 年）描述了不同类型的个人记忆如何影响组织惯例的形成和绩效，我们展示了如何使用复制的模拟模型来发展理论。我们还评估了 ODD（概述、设计概念和细节）协议和 DOE（实验设计）原则等标准如何支持该模型的复制、评估和进一步分析。使用经过验证的模型，我们进行了几个模拟实验，作为不同类型的理论发展的例子。首先，我们展示了如何通过调查其他场景（例如合并）来概括以前的理论见解。其次，我们展示了复制模拟模型在理论改进方面的潜力，
