Diehl, Ernst W., "Participatory Simulations as Training Tools – A Study Based on the Market Growth Model", 1988
ua435
A participatory simulation based on the market growth model is developed. The performance of eight subjects is evaluated and compared against the results of simulation analysis of the model. Compared to the benchmark derived from the simulation analysis, the subjects' performance is surprisingly low. It is argued that participatory simulations can be valuable teaching instruments but that they need to be combined with additional learning support tools.
