Dear Bonnie,
I use Griffin & Pustay. I also run an Internet-based, computer-assisted simulation in my class. The demo of my simulation is available at: http://pages.towson.edu/precha/geonetd5.exe. Select Run/Open at all security warnings. Do not save the program, as I upgrade the server regularly. A saved program may not work correctly after an upgrade.
When the program unzips and launches itself, an Access-to-GEO dialog box will appear. Select the Register button, and register yourself using a fictitious name. When you OK the registration, the program's main frame will appear. You can do anything you like at that point as it's only a demo.
When the demo exits, it cleans up after itself, leaving nothing on the computer. You must have Microsoft's .Net Framework installed for the demo to work. If you don't have it installed, you can download it free (I suggest Version 2) from Microsoft's Web site: http://www.msdn.com.
If you'd like to lurk around and watch my students in action, send me a signed letter of request on your letterhead. I can also make it possible for your students to be spectators or participants of the simulation. Just let me know what you want in your letter.
Best,
Precha

Colleagues: I would like to update my syllabus for International Business. I use the Luthans and Doh text. I am looking for some interesting suggestions for research, presentations, simulations, debates, etc. All ideas are welcome.
