description Training departments use business simulations because these teaching devices often are more instructive, memorable and enjoyable than the typical lecture/text/slide-show approach. An "evolved" simulation is a standardized teaching program, which has been used for several years by a wide variety of companies. A "custom" simulation is a program that is created ad hoc, for a specific industry or for a specific company. The following are 10 reasons why an evolved simulation is superior to a custom, client-specific simulation for teaching business concepts and acumen: 1. purpose, 2. time, 3. reach, 4. research, 5. input, 6. support, 7. cost-efficiency, 8. space, 9. shelf life, and 10. you can try before you buy.
