Stanislaw, Harold – Simulation and Games, 1986
Provides a framework for understanding the concept of validity and how it applies to simulation research. Extant tests of validity are discussed in terms of this framework, and a general schema for testing validity is proposed. (MBR)

Sharda, Ramesh; And Others – Simulation and Games, 1988
Description of WQM, a simulation game designed to introduce students to the water quality management function, emphasizes the decision-making process involved in various facets of business. The simulation model is described, computer support is explained, and issues in water resource management are discussed. (13 references) (LRW)

Biggs, William D. – Simulation and Games, 1987
Defines computerized functional business games as those focusing on decision making and integration in the areas of accounting/finance, marketing, personnel/human resources, and production/operations. Nine currently available games are reviewed and evaluated in the context of a learning model. (Author/LRW)

Davis, Donald L.; Grove, Stephen J. – Simulation and Games, 1986
This experiment used simulated production environment to examine empirically two of five management information system design assumptions Ackoff considered erroneous: managers perform better with detailed rather than summarized reports; and managers who are satisfied with needed information perform better than those who are dissatisfied and want…

Vennix, Jac A. M.; Geurts, Jac L. A. – Simulation and Games, 1987
Describes design principles followed in developing an interactive microcomputer-based simulation to study financial and economic aspects of the Dutch social security system. The main goals are to improve participants' insights into the formal simulation model, and to improve policy development skills. Plans for future research are also discussed.…
