anyone using microworlds in undergraduate business
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2001 8:14 am
Steve Cavaleri is professor of management at Central Connecticut State
University. He uses a microworld I developed for his undergraduate courses
in management systems for a couple of years and may still be using it. The
microworld, called WellDone!, is written in commercial and student versions
and simulates staffing and training, knowledge management and program
management in a multi-project environment. A few years ago, Steve used a
microworld called Aaron that simulates product introduction and competitive
dynamics. He presented a paper on the effectiveness of microworlds in his
classes at the Society Conference a few years ago.
In addition to his research and teaching, Steve heads up the Knowledge
Management Consortium and can be reached at <scavaleri@kmci.org>.
