FUNDAMENTALS OF SIMULATION FOR NEWCOMERS 
 

William D. Biggs, Alfred University 
 

 
The purpose of this panel is to provide background 
information concerning computerized business 
simulations (business games) in educational 
settings. Sources of games will be identified and 
considerations which enter into the selection of 
games will be discussed. Specific attention will be 
given to problems and issues involved in the use 
of computerized business games, such as 
information needs, grading, etc.
