“…The first appraisal criterion applied was knowledge and skills (Raia, 1966). Throughout the 1970s, several studies used three novel dimensions to evaluate performance: overall course knowledge and conceptual and fact mastery (Wolfe, 1973;Wolfe & Guth, 1975). A new criterion based on goal-setting skills was introduced by Wheatley, Hornaday & Hunt (1988) the following decade.…”

“…Ford and Ogilvie (1997) suggest using a balance of traditional and action-oriented pedagogical methods in business schools so that learners can acquire quantitative analysis skills more effectively while also learning how to apply them in contextually-appropriate business situations. The literature shows that a range of business courses use simulation games as a teaching and learning tool, including accounting (Burns, 1965;Gray, Willingham, & Johnston, 1963;Marriott, 2004;Wynder, 2004), management (Cohen & Rhenman, 1961;Wolfe, 1973Wolfe, , 1997, marketing (Perry & Euler, 1989;Tonks, 2005), e-commerce (Ngai, 2004), and communications (Saunders, 1997).…”

This study describes the design and implementation of a simulation role-playing game (RPG), the web-based Supply Chain Management Game (WSCMG), which provides an opportunity for business and management students to experience the business environment in a virtual context. In the design and development stage, generic supply chain (SC) activities were analyzed, and a web-based SC management (SCM) system developed to support the RPG. In the implementation stage, the game was tested on a group of undergraduate students specializing in the study of SCM. As part of the learning assessment, the student players were required to report their SC performance and sales figures using an inbuilt online evaluation system which also facilitated peer and tutor reviews. An evaluation was then conducted to collect students' and tutors' views on the game's effectiveness. Positive feedback was received, supporting the proposition that the WSCMG can be an effective tool in facilitating self-, peer-, and tutor-directed teaching and learning.

“…This literature is grounded in cognitive and behavioural learning perspectives, i.e., the use of play and games for experiential training and education for students or practitioners of management (Wolfe, 1973). 6 While the concept of play and games as a sociocultural and performative activity is most closely approached by this literature (see for example Kark, 2011) the aims of much of this research are still largely aligned with those found in the instrumental stream.…”

We examine the (dis)incentive effects created by the respective tax systems to invest in human capital in Atlantic Canada and compare this to a select group of provinces from the rest of Canada. While findings show a steady decline in effective tax rates through the years, thereby creating an incentive effect to invest in post-secondary education, disproportionately higher rate gap differentials in the Atlantic Provinces, on average, combined with negative comparative statics reveal a somewhat different undertone. The counterproductive nature of the competing policies effectively nullifies any status quo argument for education or tax policy in the Atlantic Provinces, when compared to their brethren. The graduate retention rebate provides some solace to the narrative in helping to alleviate early tax burdens and equalize returns, but is difficult to claim effectiveness in assuaging any monetary windfall associated with migration. IntroductionThe goal of this paper is to assess the (dis)incentive effects created by the provincial tax systems for human capital investment in Atlantic Canada. Our test subjects are university graduates, but we note that such methodology could be applied to any level or subset of the population that possess human capital deemed scarce and productive, in the economic sense. We do not purport to suggest that university graduates are more important in the economic well being of an economy than, say, skilled trades or college graduates, e.g., and encourage one to think of our case as a subset of a larger sample of possibilities. Our presumption, like our goal, is simple; namely, an empirical investigation of incentivizing the tax system in Atlantic Canada remains an unexplored possibility for strategic policy implementation to retain and recruit scarce resources in the market for human capital. We use the impact on effective tax rates (ETRs) and rates of return as our policy litmus test and explore by empirical and simulation analysis the unilateral exploitation of a select number of provincial tax systems. Some may claim that this work puts the * Collins would like to acknowledge the support of the CRS-SSHRC institutional research grant at St. Francis Xavier University in helping to complete this research.proverbial cart before the horse, as it were, since to attract workers a province needs the requisite infrastructure and such may not be currently present at the appropriate level(s) to warrant an increase in the supply of skilled labour. To that end, we suggest that a more accurate assessment (or, at least, a plausible alternative) might be akin to a "chicken or the egg" argument; namely, which comes first? We leave this debate up to the interested reader for now, and focus on establishing the empirics of the analysis in an effort to add the requisite fodder for a more informed discussion.While previous research has examined the disincentive effects created by the tax system for, e.g., university and college graduates (see, for instance, Burbidge et al., 2012), the current study is diff...
