This book is a commemorative edition of the 260th anniversary of the Lisbon Accounting and Business School (ISCAL), one of the oldest business schools in Europe. The book collects a series of contributions from teachers and researchers of ISCAL, offering a state-of-the-art picture of the research conducted in this higher education institution. This is an institution oriented to applied teaching and applied science, and the various contributions in this collective work intend to highlight such reality. Contributions range from accounting and finance to law, business and management.

A substantial part of the book is dedicated to economic and business simulations; this is an area of special interest and focus to ISCAL, since practical teaching through simulation games and simulation exercises is a vital part of the institution’s mission. The work is constituted by nine chapters organized into four parts: Part I – On Applied Business Research: Thoughts on Accounting, Finance, Business, and Law; Part II – Simulation Studies: Evaluation of Classroom Experiences; Part III – Simulation Studies: Projecting Pedagogy into Perspective; and Part IV – Simulation Models and Theory. Overall, the book reaches most of the areas of applied business research, offering valuable contributions to be used by researchers and teachers.
