Artificial Culture in Artificial Societies

International audienceIn this article, I present the state of my research on modeling and simulating the impact of a culture on artificial organizations and artificial societies. In particular, I aim at replicating the effect of culture at the individual level in order to observe the consequences at the collective level. Thus, I expect to reproduce organizational structural and performance (efficiency, robustness, flexibility) changes in different countries as well as cultural clashes in cross-cultural settings. On a different time scale, such a model of culture will be used used to investigate the link between the level of development of a society and the individual conception of the world carried on by its culture
