Abstract
A model is proposed which identifies factors associated with the adoption of discrete event simulation and places them within an explanatory framework. The model proposes four main states in the adoption process; separate, linked, activated and adopted. The model develops a coherent view of the interaction between the states and linking mechanisms, implementation mechanisms and the adoption advantage, and this is illustrated through the use of material from four organizations
