Enhancing Mainframe Simulations via Microcomputers: Designing Decision Support Systems	1986	5	.pdf	application/pdf	4786	201	37	The package described in this paper offers the following departures from traditional simulation methods: a) a historical data base from past simulation periods is available for analysts, b) student teams are required to design their own DSS before they can begin making simulation decisions, c) unequal team starting positions provide the opportunity to use a wide range of marketing strategies and increase team motivation to analyze the history data base. DSS Design Requirements The availability of a simulation history data base also provides the opportunity to require teams to think about the type and amount of information required from the data base prior to making initial simulation decisions.	cache/absel-2073.pdf	txt/absel-2073.txt
