The Business Simulation Blog

In this post, we are going to delve deeper into one of the more advanced features of the Cesim Instructor platform: the Case Customization Manager. If you ever wanted to change the parameters or the story of a Cesim business simulation, this is the place to do it. With some neat new options added in our latest release, you can now do a whole lot more to make your case unique. Whether you are a novice or advanced simulations user, modifying a default case might seem daunting at first, so we've put together a walk through of how to create a custom case for your course in 5 easy steps. 

Sylvie Humbert from the Grenoble Institute of Technology (INP Grenoble) has been an integral part of the organizing team of our recent Business Simulations Workshop in France. She is an educator in marketing, industrial marketing and business development, as well as a supporter of innovative projects. In this interview, she talks about her experiences with business simulation games for engineering students, and what advice she'd give to fellow educators thinking of trying them out in their courses or training programs.

CBSTeach at Copenhagen Business School is the brainchild of Ravi Vatrapu and is a part of the Technology enhanced Teaching and Learning (TeTL) project. Its objective is to provide a portal with technical and human resources for teaching with information and communication technologies.

Our recent business simulations workshop organized by our friends at Grenoble Ecole de Management was a roaring success. We want to thank participants for spending a great day with us learning about how to strategize with business simulation games (in French: Comment former à la stratégie par la simulation?).

One of the hot topics of the education industry currently is the learning assessment of students and how to measure whether business school students truly derive that much touted value from their oftentimes expensive studies. After all, one of the hardest jobs teachers have is to ensure that they aren't merely reciting lecture slides, but pass on and create valuable knowledge in an increasingly demanding environment. Notice that I intentionally used the word 'create' in addition to 'pass on', to highlight the growing importance of collaborative learning in all disciplines, where knowledge is indeed created by the discussion amongst students as much as by the educator's contribution.
