Vs. general business sims

MISsimulation Is the IS Layer They Don't Have.

General business sims teach supply chain, marketing, and finance. None of them teach your students how information systems drive those decisions. That's the gap MISsimulation fills. And it's the gap your SLOs require you to close.

Capability	General Business Sim (CAPSIM, etc.)	MISsimulation
IS-Specific Curriculum	❌ Business strategy only	✅ Data analysis, IT decision-making, system selection
Dataset Purchase & Filtering	❌ Not applicable	✅ Students buy, filter, and interpret real data sets each turn
AoL Evidence Generated	⚠️ Manual export / external rubric required	✅ Analytical Depth Scores auto-populate AoL report
Decision Traceability	❌ Outcome-only scoring	✅ Every decision step logged. Process graded, not just result.
Excel Integration	⚠️ Varies (often proprietary UI)	✅ Analysis Lab exports filtered audience lists for Excel or Google Sheets; course reinforces spreadsheet skills
AI-Resistant Submission	❌ Outcome can be AI-generated	✅ In-session steps logged. ChatGPT cannot replicate the process trail.

MISsimulation complements general business simulations or replaces them entirely in IS courses. Many instructors run both in the same program.
