How can simulation games simplify complex business concepts

Business education often needs assistance to encapsulate the multifaceted experience of running a real business within a traditional classroom setting. While workshops and lectures cover theoretical aspects, they seldom integrate these into a cohesive, practical experience. This talk explores how simulation games can bridge this gap by offering a comprehensive platform where students can apply business concepts in a dynamic, interactive environment. Discover the transformative potential of gamified learning as we delve into how these tools simplify complex business concepts and enhance students' understanding. Importantly, they do so in a risk-free setting, where students can manage virtual enterprises without fear, gaining confidence and reassurance in their skills. Also, while having fun.
