This we know. Whether it’s the friend who accidentally blurts out the ending of a great book, the film review that diligently covers every twist and turn of the storyline, or the student who shares coursework information with subsequent cohorts, spoilers can annoy and infuriate. What they take from us can never be returned: our honest, unfiltered and unprepared response to a piece of creative work. The theft of our unique, personal journey through what may often also be a shared experience. “There he is, officer. That’s the man who told me the butler did it.” [Read More](https://www.cesim.com/blog/protecting-future-students-from-spoilers) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.cesim.com/blog/protecting-future-students-from-spoilers#comments-listing) Tags: [Customization](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/customization), [Business simulations tips](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/business-simulations-tips), [How to use business simulations](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/how-to-use-business-simulations), [Why use business simulations](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/why-use-business-simulations), [Practice business theories](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/practice-business-theories), [business game](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/business-game), [Serious Games](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/serious-games), [Student engagement](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/student-engagement), [student motivation](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/student-motivation), [business simulation](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/business-simulation), [business simulation games](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/business-simulation-games), [Business education](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/business-education), [Business acumen](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/business-acumen), [experiential training](https://www.cesim.com/blog/topic/experiential-training)   --- #### [**How to complement business simulations to yield better results**](https://www.cesim.com/blog/how-to-complement-business-simulations-to-yield-better-results) Posted by [Cesim Team](https://www.cesim.com/blog/author/cesim-team) on Tuesday, March 05, 2019 | Reading time: 3 min. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Clock mechanism](https://www.cesim.com/hubfs/Clock%20mechanism.jpg)](https://www.cesim.com/blog/how-to-complement-business-simulations-to-yield-better-results) As an educator looking for a boost in student engagement you might be thinking about implementing a [business simulation](https://www.cesim.com/what-is-a-business-simulation) in your course.
