This paper describes a computer simulation model to facilitate manpower planning. Its focus is upon micro‐behavior within the jurisdiction of a single supervisor and all subordidinates reporting directly to him in a hierarchical organization. Consequences throughout the organization and over time are then derived analytically from these micro‐responses.
