Management Games in Business Learning

Synopsis "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation" -Plato, The Reader "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand" -Confucius, Chinese philosopher (551BC-479 BC) Games are dynamic, intrinsically motivating and encourages high levels of involvement. They provide immediate feedback to participants, and mistakes do not result in actually losing assets (Hood, 1997). Game is one of the most highly utilized forms of simulation in education, business, and training for a variety of reasons. Games teach competition strategies, cooperation and teamwork and conflict resolution. Games constitute a wonderful tool for engaging learners and to reinforce learning. It makes learning fun; for most people, this increases the capacity to learn. The effectiveness of games relies on the degree to which they simulate real-life, and there are benefits and drawbacks.
