Strategem-2: a microcomputer simulation game of the Kondratiev cycle
John D. Sterman, Dennis L. Meadows · 1985
The project focuses on techniques for marrying computer simulation models with management training games. One phase of this project is a program of game development that draws on three specific components:- Sophisticated (though not necessarily large) simulation models of specific systems that are relevant to senior managers in the corporate and public sectors,- Inexpensive, portable microcomputers that can operate the models on the home ground of potential clients, and- playing boards with associated pieces that offer players an accounting and communication aid while they are playing the game. The games in this series are all called STRATEGEMS (Strategic Games for Educating Managers). Each game in the series is programmed in the BASIC computer language so that it can be implemented on an extremely wide variety of small microcomputers. Each game kit is available from IIASA ready to play, and each is documented sufficiently well that users may customize them. Information about the games that are so far available in the series may
