Dear Colleagues,

I am supervising a PhD dissertation that aims to test firm political behavior towards campaign contribution through the application of a computerized business game. We programed a new game that integrates market and non-market scenarios. I would like to know if any of you could indicate references or suggestions we need to follow in order to correctly test (control variables, control the "experiment") of our hypotheses.

Thanks!

Dear Rodrigo,

I suggest you start with review articles in Simulation & Gaming (http://sag.sagepub.com/), and go from there. Actually, I co-authored one of these, "Profiling 40 years of research in Simulation & Gaming," by J. Bragge, P. Thavikulwat, & Juuso Töyli, 2010, Vol. 41, No. 6, pp. 869-897.

You also could arrange for your student to attend the next meeting of the Assn. for Business Simulation & Experiential Learning, March 7-9, 2012, in San Diego. The call for papers is accessible from the association's Web site (http://www.absel.org). Submissions are due on October 31, 2011.

Best,

Precha
