| Abstract: | This paper discusses how an object-oriented simulation model can explore substitution processes in a competitive market. The authors show how a conceptual model of the UK mobile telecommunications industry, based on entities and their relationships, can be translated into a dynamic simulation model. The model focuses on two conflicting pressures, namely, the need to migrate customers from the analogue to the digital network versus the need to invest in expanding coverage and capacity of the digital network. |
