Topics in Discrete Events Simulation For Business Students

Abstract

This paper is focused on the issue of how one can get Discrete Events Simulation (DES) more used in Business Schools, since this type of simulation allows students to do interesting simulation projects in companies. We list a great number of project topics that we in four countries have given our business students and which they have been able to carry out successfully as part of an introductory course, requiring one month of work. This list of topics can hopefully give also other students ideas for project work. For some of these topics we also bring out some interesting details.
