This paper examines the problem of disparity in performance among teams, which negatively impacts the competitive dynamics of business strategy simulation games. A typology of teams is used to illustrate the disparity gap and interventions are proposed. The analysis of results from a very small sample suggests the very tentative conclusion that academic major is related to simulation performance. Additional data from the Fall 2005 Term will double the current sample size and yield results in time for the 2006 ABSEL Conference. Since this is a perpetual study that was only recently initiated, the authors seek to attain valuable feedback from the ABSEL community to improve this effort and achieve the goal of team parity.read more

Simulation Sensemaking: The BusinessWeek Approach to Effective Debriefing
TL;DR: In this paper, a debriefing experience for a simulation experience is presented in the form of a product that has the look and feel of a Businessweek magazine article, and the debriefer is asked to explain the experience in a form designed to appeal to shareholders and other stakeholders.

Linking Team Covenants to Peer Assessment of Simulation and Experiential Performance
Marian W. Boscia,Linda F. Turner +1 more
TL;DR: ABSEL members have a long tradition of seeking to improve the quality of students’ learning experiences using business simulations using ABSEL as mentioned in this paper, and they have explored a variety of individual and team characteristics that can affect team performance.
Use of External Interventions in a Computer Based Simulation
TL;DR: The Graziadio School of Business and Management, Pepperdine University, has used a business-decision simulation in its graduate programs for over twenty-five years as mentioned in this paper.

IMA Candy Company: An Experiential Exercise in Managerial Accounting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an exercise to develop students' understanding of introductory managerial accounting concepts associated with costs in manufacturing, and the game requires students to work in competing teams in an attempt to achieve the highest volume of accurately produced units at the lowest cost within the allotted time.
Antecedents of Learning in the Simulation: A Replication
Jerry Gosen,John Washbush +1 more
TL;DR: This study replicated a study undertaken in 1997 to find out why some participants learn more than others in TE simulations and identified which variables are associated with greater learning in the simulation environment.

Experiential learning in teams
TL;DR: The Kolb Team Learning Experience as mentioned in this paper provides a structured written simulation of six aspects of team development: purpose, membership, role leadership, context, process, and action, which is based on nearly four decades of research and theory on experiential learning in teams.

Learning versus Performance in Short-Term Project Teams:
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose and test hypotheses about the relationship between learning and performance and the team processes that are most predictive of learning in short-term project teams and find that interpersonal understanding, proactivity in problem solving, and creating clear work procedures are among the team's most predictive team processes.

Developing teams using the Kolb Team Learning Experience
TL;DR: The Kolb Team Learning Experience (KTLE) as discussed by the authors is a simulation for team learning that takes a team through the process of team learning: creating, planning, deciding, and acting.
