This document provides guidance for using business simulations in the classroom. It outlines a step-by-step process for introducing and playing a simulation over multiple class periods. The process includes introducing the simulation, having students play the first round, reviewing results, and assigning further play for homework. In subsequent classes, instructors should review previous rounds, have students play in groups, and provide guidance as they play. By the fourth class, the learning curve should be overcome and students will be analyzing and synthesizing the simulation at higher levels. The document concludes by recommending celebrating the winning students and assessing the simulation experience.
