lost all or nearly all of his crops
planted in the spring and with
the huge cost Of feed hanging
over him, has been forced to sell

Is Described

1015 Chestnut Street.
The summary. entitled ga
Management Training Program
for Small Businessmen" is
based on a study prepared at
the University Of Houston under
an SBA research grant.
In recent years, the "busi-
ness game" In which role
playing participants manage fic-
titious firms, has been used
successfully in management
training seminars and as an ex-
perimental device, the summary
says.
Because 1t does not require a
data computer, Mantrap's cost
is below that Of other business
games. The major focus Of the
Houston-developed game is on
a serious problem for the small
businessman how to obtain and
evaluate Information under re-
strictions Of time and money.
Mantrap has been tested In
IA conferences and seminars in
volving more than 800 bus mess
men and students. Players re-
ported ''high degree Of salts

be purchased from the Center
for Research in Business and
Economics, University Of
Houston, Houston A, Texas.
