With contributions from leading international researchers in simulation and gaming, this book provides readers with up-to-date coverage of simulation and gaming as a professional endeavor rather than just as a set of subject-relevant techniques. Organized into four parts (applications, policy exercises, research, and professional matters), the book covers such topics as the application of simulation/games to specific purposes (such as international conflict, citizen participation, etc.); research in the areas of business performance and discourse analysis; and debriefing, ethics, and the state of simulation/gaming in various countries.

This volume records the proceedings of the International Simulation and Gaming Association's 18th International Conference, held in Venice in September 1987. Four sections are contained in this volume. Each of the first three sections deals with a broad area: cultural and social aspects of simulation-gaming, business and management, and support systems. The fourth section presents an Italian perspective on simulation-gaming. Overall, this volume covers a wide spectrum of topics and issues, and presents interesting accounts and analyses of simulations and games. People involved in education and training, whether or not they already use simulations and games, will find many useful ideas and discussions in this volume.
