A friend at Harvard Business School is hoping to put together a discussion group on educational uses of simulations, and is inviting people at MIT and elsewhere to participate. He says that HBS is "starting to work with simulation vendors to launch a line of business management simulations". To find out more contact Denis Saulnier at dsaulnier at hbsp.harvard.edu. Feel free to pass this invitation on. Best, -Peter Peter Hess Faculty Liaison, Singapore-MIT Alliance 617-253-6435 phess at mit.edu
