Abstract

The increased use of simulation gaming in business education is widely acknowledged. A particularly important - but little studied - application of games has been in the area of student induction. In this paper we summarise the key findings from a survey of new students before and after a simulation game exercise conducted during their first week at university. Empirical results are found to be in close agreement with those reported elsewhere in the literature - where games have been used for quite different purposes. Notwithstanding this agreement, there are some unexpected outcomes which appear to shed new light on the effectiveness of gaming.
