Abstract: Effective entrepreneurship requires proficiency in leadership skills.This research empirically tests the relationship between perceived gender gaps and pedagogy with respect to the development of perceived leadership effectiveness in women and communication effectiveness in men.We use innovative technology to develop training experiences that facilitate experiential learning in a controlled environment and then empirically evaluate the transferability and, use, of these skills for the study's participants.The results of this study suggest that the use of computer game-based simulations to teach the experience and practice of leadership may be particularly effective in improving communication skills in men and improving leadership effectiveness skills among women.Implications for entrepreneurship training are delineated.
