Abstract: This paper presents the conclusions of a series of experiments to evaluate the use of a decision simulation game in a graduate business school curriculum. A brief description of the simulation model is followed by a discussion of how the game was first utilized. The first formal evaluation experiment and conclusions are then presented. The second and third decision simulation game sessions are then described to illustrate the evolution of curriculum design which includes a simulation decision game. The next section deals with the experiments planned to evaluate these game sessions. The final part presents the overall conclusions and describes the decision simulation game to be utilized in 1963. "Management Technology", ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.
