The Role of Management Games and Simulations in Education and Research

The basic problems and questions confronted by contemporary social scientists are problems dealing with the interrelationships between a large number of elements. While classical science was concerned with problems which usually entailed only a few variables and one-way chains of causality, modern problems are generally multivariate. They are problems of &dquo;organized complexity&dquo;-that is, of the interaction of a large but not infinite number of variables (see von Bertalanffy, 1968: 11). The analysis and explanation of these highly complex systems frequently requires the use of tools that have only recently come into their own. This brief article provides an overview regarding the use of one such tool, computer simulation-the construction of systems models and the subsequent evaluation of these models as a surrogate for the system that is of primary interest.

Simulation in Social Science

"In recent years there has been a growth in the number of courses based on experiential learning. These courses take many different forms, but live action projects, internships and laboratory-type interpersonal and organizational problem-solving courses seem to predominate the growth. The growth in experience-based learning has been paralleled by more activity in professional associations devoted to the examination of these teaching methods. The birth of ABSEL, the inclusion of a teaching methodology section in AIDS and the creation of the Center for the Assessment of Experiential Learning at the Educational Testing Service attest to the increasing popularity of experience-based learning.

Research on Experiential Learning: Enhancing the Process

This review of the literature presents in-depth research pertaining to simulation modeling in the hospitality industry. The authors’intent is to expand the readers’knowledge about simulation modeling and to provide a more complete discussion of what is known about simulation theory in the hospitality literature. Furthermore, information is provided to assist decision makers, training professionals, and hospitality educators with theoretical and methodological suggestions specific to evaluating simulation’s effectiveness and to provide a framework for understanding the enormous contributions to the simulation literature that have been made during the past four decades. A chart of simulation, indicating definitions and applications, is provided. Two comprehensive tables describing and categorizing articles in this area are also provided. The research shows substantial use of simulation modeling in both hospitality operations and education. It further shows some major methodological shortcomings.
