Abstract: The goal of this paper is to compare Business Simulations (BS) vs. case studies in terms of teamwork Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) improvement, specifically those identified by Stevens and Campion (1994). With this aim, we conducted an analysis with a group of 51 students of a compulsory Corporate Strategy course at the Business School of the University of Valladolid during the 2006 academic year. We assessed student teamwork KSAs at two different times - before and after participation of part of students in BS. Results show that BS is more effective at improving student teamwork KSAs than case studies.
