Using Simulation to Study Complex Problem Solving: A Review of Studies in the FRG.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Funke, Joachim – Simulation and Games, 1988
Reviews current research topics relating to computer simulations in German-speaking countries that emphasize problem solving and decision making. Topics discussed include the number of independent variables; studies that focus on personality characteristics; studies that focus on situational characteristics; and suggestions for further research…

The Role of a Game-Simulation in a Project of Change: A Case of Deep-Sea Fishing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kuipers, Herman – Simulation and Games, 1983
Earlier research in Dutch deep sea fishing showed competition between skippers. Since cooperation in fleets could be a solution to economic and social problems and the industry couldn't accept this, a simulation-experiment was carried out. Although competition existed initially, skippers later tried cooperation under reward conditions. The…

Competence and Task Allocation in a Simulated Work Environment: Its Consequences for Individual and Organizational Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Etzion, Dalia; Segev, Eli – Simulation and Games, 1984
Describes a study which used a graduate-level business game to examine consequences of objectively determined fit between managers' specialized competence and their functional roles in terms of individual and group performance. The game simulates a work environment of top-level management in industrial firms with responsibility for making…

Simulations and Anxiety Related to Public Speaking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jones, Ken – Simulation and Games, 1986
Clarifies definitions of simulation, game, drama, and exercise, and describes a study of 17- to 19-year-old students which was designed to determine their public speaking anxiety level after using seven classroom simulations to prepare them for the experience. Students' personal development and behavior throughout the experience are discussed.…

Communicating Insights from Complex Simulation Models: A Gaming Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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.…
