Abstract

In preparation for the Association for Business Simulation and Experiential Learning’s (ABSEL’s) 25th anniversary meeting, the authors have involved a number of their senior members in a futuristic “Merlin†exercise. The exercise is derived from T. S. White’s notion that Merlin was living his life from the future backward. The exercise asks participants to imagine that they are living backward like Merlin, describing what they would say back in the year 2005. This article describes the results of this exercise .
