Guidelines for the Future Development of Business Games

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a set of guidelines for the future development of business games. These guidelines are based on an analysis and evaluation of past research and articles describing business game usage. A review of business game literature reveals (1) that the use of business games is solidly entrenched in the business curriculum, (2) that the nature of the educational value of business games is not well defined, and (3) that those who use games believe they represent a significant pedagogical tool.
