Developments in Business Simulation and Experiential Learning , Volume 25 , 1998 MAXIMIZING LEARNING GAINS IN SIMULATIONS : LESSONS FROM THE TRAINING LITERATURE

The purpose of this paper is to offer suggestions from recent training research to increase the student learning gains resulting from participation in business simulations. We review research on human learning, provide recommendations based on the literature, and offer examples that illustrate how to apply our recommendations to enhance student learning when using business simulations.
