Abstract: Abstract Electronic spreadsheets are used as learning tools in business courses. As instructors have become more familiar with spreadsheets, they have used them increasingly to achieve their teaching objectives. Spreadsheet templates are also being used as business-simulation complements to aid in decision making by participants. The objective of this paper is to promote the development of business simulations using electronic spreadsheets as a programming language. A brief description of the parts of a Lotus-based simulation will be given, along with a summary of advantages and limitations found in the development of a complex business simulation.
