Business Simulation Games | Learning by Doing | Cesim

“Simulations are a great way to teach students to make decisions with ambiguity, because they’ve taken all kinds of courses over the years, they’ve been tested, sometimes with cases, sometimes using regular tests; but this allows them to use the full range and make decisions.”

“Up until now, students have had an education where we’ve been cutting all the different business functions into pieces, and for a lot of them this is the first time that they get a chance to see how everything fits together and see some of those interactions that are pretty difficult to capture in a Power Point slide.”

“What we’d like students to take away is that they need to integrate information from many different sources when they’re making decisions. Regular subject-based courses are narrower and they may focus on the textbook. But here they’re trying to pull together rather uncertain information from different sources and somehow still make a decision as best as they can.”
