Rich, Martin, "Business Simulations and the Role of the Manager", 1994
This paper examines some of the experience of using business simulations, for management teaching, in an academic environment. It is particularly concerned with simulations which promote groups and collaborative working, and which encourage students to review their interaction within the group. Using this experience, and examining the nature of managers’ work in business, it discusses the extension of these principles to in-service management training. In the business context, the emphasis on group work translates to an emphasis on enabling managers to recognize and use their individual skills, and personalities, to the best effect. Management training, especially in the UK, has long been regarded as a luxury, only to be indulged in where money and time are plentiful. To encourage the use of simulations in business, some ideas for evaluation of their effectiveness in training are also discussed.
