Abstract

The Association for Business Simulation and Experiential Learning (ABSEL) has recently passed its 25th birthday, and a review of the 25 years of ABSEL conference proceedings starting with Oklahoma City in 1974 provides a good overview of the changing nature of business simulation/gaming research. This article reviews the history of business simulation/gaming research through the eyes and articles of ABSEL members over the past 25 years. The review is limited to several areas of major research interest and examines research in the area of business gaming but not experiential learning.
