Despite the increasing use of simulation games in business education, only few studies have explored cognitive processes that learners employ while playing game, with quite controversial results about students’ learning outcomes. The current study analyses impact a Business Simulation Game (BSG) on related to “Structure Observed Learning Outcome” (SOLO) taxonomy. Moreover, overall performance and perceived teamwork competency been investigated. A quasi-experimental pre post-test design was applied. Eighty (80) university students played marketing game practise plan. showed significant improvement unistructural extended abstract levels taxonomy after game.
