    Posted 02-06-1999 04:32
    Dear all,
    FYI
    NASAGA is available at
    http://nasaga.org/
    and the International Simulations and Games Association (ISAGA) is
    available at its 1999 conference site of:
    http://www.education.uts.edu.au/ozsaga
    both organizations have conferences in the second half of the year.
    Management games/simulations area vital part of the future of management
    education. As Dick Duke pointed out in the 1970's Gaming is the 'futures
    language'. A way to provide vital experiences to parallel real life and
    prepare in a low threat environment.
    Regards
    Elyssebeth
    (convenor of ISAGA '99)

    Elyssebeth,
    Thank you for your prompt and informative
    response. The NASAGA web site is impressive, indeed. If
    anything, the number and scope of the simulations is
    daunting. I am also very impressed with the NASAGA
    members. I have already received an impressive response
    from NASAGA members. The zeal of your colleagues beliefs
    in simulations borders on evangelism in the best of ways!
    I teach a business strategy course and use the
    Business Strategy Game. I have become a enthusiastic
    supporter of simulations. I was amazed how well the
    Business Strategy Game taught the course quantumly better
    than the typical case methods use in strategy.
    I teach a second course melding economics and
    ethics and third combing national and world public policy.
    I'm in the market for simulations for the later two
    courses. I would be glad to send syllabi or educational
    objectives of the courses. Again, thank you for your
    response. I would appreciate any advice.

    Bruce
