Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An e-mail survey of 14,497 business faculty members across all disciplines at American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business member schools was undertaken to determine current business simulation game usage and thoughts about business simulation games. Issues such as how games are first adopted, objectives for game use, achievement of course objectives, where game users look for information on business games, courses taught by game users, how and why games in use are changed or dropped, and why some faculty members do not use simulation games were addressed. Across 1,085 respondents to this survey, 30.6% were current business game users, 17.1% were former game users, and 52.3% were never-users of business games.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
