Abstract

This paper discusses the role of computer based simulations in business education. It examines the learning approaches adopted by students using a simulation game. Results inform the development of causal-loop diagrams capturing representations of zero, single and double-loop learning within the study context. Actions are proposed to maximise the effectiveness of this form of learning technology.
