Guidelines for the Future Development of Business Games

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a set of guidelines for the future development of business games. These guidelines are based on an analysis and evaluation of past research and articles describing business game usage. A review of business game literature reveals (1) that the use of business games is solidly entrenched in the business curriculum, (2) that the nature of the educational value of business games is not well defined, and (3) that those who use games believe they represent a significant pedagogical tool.

A Multimedia Approach to Teaching the Total Environment of International Business: “What's it Like, What's it Really Like?”

Abstract: This article reviews motivations for going beyond traditional business teaching material into the realm of films, memoirs, and novels. Included are suggestions of specific examples of films, memoirs, and novels which have a place in teaching the international business environment in less developed countries. An extensive annotated bibliography of films, memoirs, and novels is provided.

A simple model for business simulations

Abstract: A business model is developed, based on the ideas of behavioral modeling, and two typical businesses are simulated including representations of environments and management strategies. The model is intended as a flexible framework for simulations useful in planning and is easily modified to represent particular situations, operating criteria, and available information. The performances of the two businesses are computed for a number of combinations of environment and management strategy.

An Analysis of Advertisements for Positions in International Business

Abstract: Conventional wisdom holds that every academic discipline should undergo continuous evaluation regarding curriculum, course content, and research focus. Many inputs could be used for such purposes: opinions of specialists (e.g., as revealed by surveys of university courses), consulting experience and research on international business problems. This note presents data on one input–the demand for higher level personnel in international business as reflected by advertisements. The methodology involved clipping advertisements of “positions available” in international business from The Wall Street Journal during the eighteen month period, October 1973 through March 1975. Then they were classified according to the qualifications specified. It should be noted that such advertisements tend to be for experienced persons rather than for newly graduated students. They do not indicate what the market looks for when recruiting students with training in International Business. Rather, such advertisements suggest what qualifications will be needed for advancement in the international activities of firms so long as future business requirements continue the same as at present. In other words, an analysis of advertisements provides information on only one dimension, albeit an important one, of the market for persons trained for international business. Attention also should be given to trends in international business problems and activities that, in the future, may create a demand for different skills than at present. One can list other methodologies needed.

A model for business combinations

Abstract: A procedure is developed to predict the performance of combinations of two businesses for comparison with the performance of the businesses operating individually. Included are general relationships of combined performance, the definition of several types of combination and their simulation using previously developed business models. A large number of computational experiments are performed to show the effect of the different types of combination, environment, management strategy, business model inaccuracies and of uncertainties in knowing efficiency factors and learning-curve coefficients.

Research Into The Business Policy Field

Abstract: ness Policy field. This is shown by the number of writers now directly referring to this topic as being suitable for research and investigation, and also because of failures and shortcomings of policies adopted by various bodies in a variety of spheres of activities. There is also a growing interest by more and more people to know something of the policy formulation process, and some very active canvassing by some groups to take part in it and even to go further than this in terms of questioning etc., composition of policy making groups. Within organisations some very active groups have come to exercise considerable influence upon the formulation process.
