Realism in Business Games: A Three Game Comparison

Authors

  • John E. Dittrich

Abstract

In recent years, computer game designers and publishers have produced a wide variety of computerized business games aimed at serving a number of educational needs. Some of the simpler games introduce students to the complexity of business management at the introductory level. Specialized games such as FINANSIM in Finance, JOBLOT in Production, and MARKETING IN ACTION in Marketing, address a single functional area of specialty. The more common application of computerized business games for undergraduate and graduate college courses, however, is as an adjunct to the capstone business policy course which is normally taught near the conclusion of the student’s educational program.
