It is impossible to evaluate the effectiveness of training without adequate measurement techniques. In the research covered by this research note, measurement was accomplished through simulation technology; subjects were tested in a first simulation, and later re-tested. A consistent improvement in performance was found when people were given practical and conceptual information about how to apply conceptual stylistic to management efforts, especially decision-making. All measures of performance showed improvement. ...
The number of measures that are collected from participants in the quasi-experimental simulation technology have continued to increase as the technology has continued to be developed. With as many as 60 separate measures now available, it has become important to determine where commonalities among the measures might exist. The present report explores those commonalities via a factor analysis of scores obtained by more than 100 lower level managers who participated ...
A simulation technique is used to determine whether complexity (multidimensionality) of task performance is complex managerial tasks is trainable. The present report is specifically concerned with measurement. Previous simulation based measurement (cf. Streufert, 1983) which had included sixteen measures was extended to thirty-seven primary measures and twelve derived measures. Information is provided on the characteristics and purpose of each of those measures. In addition formulas or related statements that allow ...
