  • 1.  Case or Simulation?

    Posted 11-10-1997 17:15
    I am looking for a simulation or case that encompasses the areas of
    Organizational Theory, Organizational Behavior, and Human Resource
    Mangement that is involved enough to run for one (or preferably two)
    15-week semesters. Any suggestions?

    Permit me to suggest my own creation, DEAL, a computerized business
    gaming simulation designed to run from a PC-platform local area
    network. Unlike many other simulations, this one requires every
    students to register, tracks every student, and advances itself
    automatically. Students set up companies, employ, and pay each
    other, so you get the full organizational spectrum, but the computer
    keeps track of who's doing what for whom at all times, so you don't
    have to.

    The best part of the deal is that faculty of educational institutions
    can get the package at no cost simply by writing me a letter on
    institutional letterhead with your request and explaining your
    intended application. Your students get the manual at no cost
    also, because it's on the web and accessible through the URL below.
