Abstract :
A key feature of the Mesarovic-Pestel (M-P) multilevel, hierarchical, regionalized world model is the use of an interactive mode in which man and computer work as partners in decision analysis. The procedure allows combination of the logical and computing capabilities of the machine with the intuition, experience and heuristic capability of a human. The interactive mode permits evaluation of intangibles such as technical innovation, and most importantly, social and political developments.
