Relational analysis of terminology found in the business and social sciences simulation and gaming literature

Abstract

dc:description

The primary focus of this study is to analyze, compare, and contrast the terminology used when authors refer to business and social science simulations, especially within the context of currently existing classification schemes of simulations. Additionally, emphasis is placed on identifying and describing possible cognitive processes underlying the semantic and syntactic structures of the terminology of business social science simulation literature in an exploratory manner.
