It’s Puzzling: Communications, Competition, And Cooperation

Abstract

“It’s Puzzling” is a game designed to teach general management concepts involving communications and coordination issues, competition, cooperation, and problem solving and using the simple task of assembling of a child’s puzzle. The game features a “retroactive” learning process of several rounds, each with an added dimension of difficulty and a debriefing session to help the students understand what they learned from the process.
