E.  aManagement simulation as a tool for training and teaching.  c1982  aA simulation is an instructional technique in which the participant makes decisions and gains experience and knowledge imbedded in the exercise. The game model interacts between the simulated environment and the activity of the participants. Games developed for management simulation make a valuable contribution to the development of decision-making skills. This type of exercise provides wide experience in a short period of time at minimal cost. We discerned a need to improve classroom instruction of Agribusiness courses and in Agribusiness Training Programs. A review of the literature regarding simulation programs available, we could not find such ‘an agribusiness simulation on the market. Thus we developed SIMAG to fill the void. SIMAG was designed to provide classroom instruction for Agribusiness courses and Agribusiness Training Programs. We were fortunate to assemble a team that enjoyed the expertise and background as well as the interest to create the program. The game is oriented to the practice of skills necessary for the agribusiness retail industry and SIMAG complements such other learning activity and learning resources that may be available.  aModelagem1 aHUDSON, M.
