Abstract

This paper reports on a study done to determine if the timing of economic conditions in a computer business simulation game would influence the performance of the student teams. A relationship was found between the pattern of economic cycles and the ability of the student teams to cope with these changes. Further, it was found that the pattern influenced the performance beyond that expected by examining the level of economic activity alone.
