An Assessment Framework for Determining the Effectiveness of Total Enterprise Simulations

Abstract

The current state of total enterprise strategy simulations is assessed within a framework of four dimensions for adopters to consider. As such, simulations are viewed in terms of their user friendliness. comprehensiveness, theoretical grounding, and adaptability. This view builds on Snyder’s (1993) work on providing a theoretical means for assessing total enterprise simulations. The paper concludes with a proposed questionnaire to assess the current mix of strategy simulations on the market.
