Welcome to the Lemonade Stand Simulation!

The Lemonade Stand business game simulation has been developed for management training and research by Sheizaf Rafaeli and Daphne Raban from the Center for the Study of the Information Society in the University of Haifa. This seemingly simple simulation can and is used for studying the subjective value of information, use of information in decision-making, information sharing, market for information and various other content and system-related aspects of information. The simulation has been used with many participants in Israel and in the U.S. who generally show enthusiasm as evidenced by lively debriefing discussions.
