A Demonstration On Multiple Data Collection Methods: Seeing Strategic Issues Through The "Looking Glass" Simulation

Abstract

While researchers have used simulations to explain environmental and organizational impacts on strategy and learning (Gordon, 1985; McCall & Lombardo, 1982), few have taken advantage of them as a multiple data source. In this session, a team of doctoral students in Organization Studies will demonstrate how an experiential exercise can be a rich source to collect data. Audiovisual media will involve the audience in various methods to collect such data. The panel will provide specific applications to strategic issues and implications about the learning process.
