Validating Business Simulations: Does High Product Quality Lead to High Profitability?	2014	5	.pdf	application/pdf	4540	219	41	PAST RESEARCH Meaningfulness, as applied to the business simulation gaming experience, has taken on a number of interpretations as reflected in past research including: (1) the learning, or skills training, aspects of business games; (2) the relative merit of business games versus other teaching approaches; (3) the external validity of business simulation games; and (4) the internal validity of business games. The reported types of learning brought about by the use of business games include goal setting and information processing; organizational behavior and personal interaction skills; sales forecasting; entrepreneurial skills; financial analysis; basic economic concepts; inventory management; mathematical modeling; personnel skills such as hiring, training, leading and motivating; creative skills; communication skills; data analysis; formal planning and report preparation; and much more. Faria (2001) provides a history and complete list of references covering research on skills training through the use of business simulation games.	cache/absel-567.pdf	txt/absel-567.txt
