Paper Abstract:
|
The turbulent business environment requires business expertise from ever larger personnel groups. Business organizations need the enhancement of peoples capabilities and knowledge to achieve results. This expertise is a combination of several different skills and know-how, and it should include overall understanding of the basic logic of business processes and operations. Work in organizations is also increasingly being structured in teams and groups, and characterized by distributed expertise and networked activities. The challenge for an effective learning solution is to provide the learners with an overall view of the functioning of a business organization as a whole. In this paper we describe first results from a company in-house training project applying a time intensive simulation game. Our results show that with dynamic simulations it is possible to support the team learning process, and enhance collaboration skills and overall understanding of the functioning of business organizations. |
