Abstract | Abstract Evaluations of widely used computer simulators identify a number of technical and organizational factors that are related to the simulator's success. But investigations have ignored two unobtrusive aspects of organizational behavior — myth and ritual. Myths are commonly held beliefs that maintain social solidarity and reduce ambiguity. Rituals serve a similar function, but they involve actions in addition to words. This paper uses examples of common myths and rituals to illustrate the concepts. A brief review of widely used cost simulation models and a discussion of their evaluation follows. The discussion demonstrates the importance of myth and ritual in understanding the use of computer simulators in higher education. |
