| Ernie Cadotte Writes About the Design Strategy of Marketplace Ernie Cadotte, the author of Marketplace, writes in his abstract that "Simulations are a form of competitive training that can provide transformational learning to inexperienced students. However, simulation adoptions in our business schooled has trailed expectations, often because they have not been easy to use. In order to rectify this limitation and advance the potential for simulation learning, the Marketplace business simulation was recently redesigned from the ground up. In the process, the entire simulation pedagogy was rethought. The overall goal was to create a learning experience that far surpassed prior simulation exercises. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the development process and thereby illustrate how a valued pedagogy can be enhanced through careful planning and thoughtful consideration of the goals, strategy, features, and benefits of the learning experience." Working to Enhance the Business Simulation Pedagogy: Goals, Strategy, Features, and Benefits. Ernest R. Cadotte, University of Tennessee [Published August, 2005].
