SOCIOMETRIC RESEARCH AND THE USE OF ITS RESULTS IN THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE SIMULATION GAME

Abstract

Simulation games are a method of simulating modern joint actions of people in order to solve a narrow problem in the form of a model, used in almost all spheres of public life. Widespread both in Ukraine and abroad, most researchers explain the possibility of their repeated use to solve common problems and achieve certain results [1-3]. Sociologists often refer to the modeling game as a social technology. From the point of view of social technology, the modeling game belongs to the sociological means, to the practical activity of the sociologist and is aimed at providing managerial activity, as well as at defining and transforming a social object. The attribution of the simulation game to the field of management is due to the fact that this type of game unites all members of the group into a single system with the need to make a joint decision. The subject of the study is the relationships and problems that have a direct or indirect connection with the field of a particular activity, and the games played in the work team are aimed at organizing the most productive way of functioning of members of this group.
