Abstract

This paper utilizes a cross sectional approach to examine the relationship between simulation team planning and performance. Students in four Sections of business policy participating in the Business Management Laboratory constituted the sample. A cross sectional methodology was utilized where planning teams and nonplanning teams with different instructors were included in the same industry. The results of the data analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between the planning and nonplanning teams on the performance criteria. The results of this study in relation to three other studies undertaken by the authors are discussed. Some reflections by the authors on the complexity of simulation game research are also presented.
