Abstract: Abstract Management games have been a cornerstone in the Business Policy course for two decades and have spread to the areas of marketing and finance. They have not made the same impact as a pedagogy tool in international business (IB) courses, where the case study remains the primary experiential learning tool. One of the reasons IB is slow to adopt the business simulation game may be due to their perceived lack of validity as a teaching tool, that is, their inability to address the critical issues of international business. This paper attempts to assess their suitability for the classroom by examining the degree to which the games address relevant international business issues. If they are found to have an acceptable degree of validity, some of the reluctance to use the games may be alleviated.
