The Effectiveness of Business Games in Strategic Management Course Work

Abstract

The variety and user-friendliness of computer-based games available to the strategic management instructor has increased, although the number of commercially available games has fallen due to a number of factors. Based on the criterion of objectively measured learning outcomes, the various games studied over the years produce genuine results and results that are superior to those obtained via the case approach, which is the major alternative teaching strategy. Far less research has been conducted on game-facilitating factors that lead to effective learning outcomes in a business game environment.
