The Monte Carlo Simulation Fair Profit Distribution in a Virtual Team
Abstract
Abstract: The Monte Carlo simulation model is a stochastic method based on the use of random variables and probabilistic modeling to analyze complex systems and processes. It is widely applied in various fields such as finance, engineering, physics, and logistics, where it is used for uncertainty assessment, optimization, and forecasting. The method allows for the simulation of numerous possible scenarios by generating a large number of random samples, thus providing statistically reliable estimates of the system’s behavior. In this report, the Monte Carlo simulation will be used to distribute profits among members of a virtual team that allocates tasks based on the fair profit method. This approach aims to ensure objectivity and balance between each participant’s contribution and their corresponding compensation.
