About the Business Simulation Games Workshop:
Background: To teach strategy (and more generally management sciences), trainers more and more frequently turn to scenarios. Thus emerged simulations for management - or Business Simulation Games - where experiential learners take on the role of a manager who is being confronted by numerous strategic choices. With the help of business simulation games, (s)he is able to clearly identify the performance of the company as well as the impact of his/her decisions on the bottom line. Beyond the tool itself, the success of the learning experience is based on the organization of the facilitation and the deliveries from the facilitator.
