Abstract

In 2013, AACSB International published its revised Standards recognizing the dynamic environments of both business schools and the business world. The catalyst of change includes fantastical advances in technology combined with Generations Y,Z, and (yes) Alpha who have adapted as wireless, multi-tasking, multi-device savants. These students have developed amid a plethora of stimuli and expect the same from their business education environment. This paper describes the use of experiential learning via the innovative, in-the-cloud ProBanker Simulation that engages students thirst for new technological experiences and their competitive natures. During the process students recognize that the skills and analytics involved can be applied to any business entity not just a financial intermediary.
