Abstract:

Simulation games and case studies are used extensively in teaching in business administration. However,

few studies investigate the relationship between using simulation games in tandem with case studies and

student learning. This study showed only a positive direct relationship between the benefits gained from

case studies and student learning. There was no apparent direct relationship between the benefits gained

from simulation and student learning. The study also showed a relationship between benefits gained from

simulation games and benefits gained from case studies. It can be concluded that simulation games affect

student learning only when accompanied by case studies.
