Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What kinds of management game are now available? How do they differ from one another? How do they compare with other ways of learning? Where can I find the most suitable games for the training objectives I have in mind? Handbook of Management Games offers detailed answers to these questions and many others. For this fifth edition the text has been virtually rewritten to take account of new developments. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to choosing and using games for management training and development." "Part One of the Handbook examines the characteristics and applications of the different types of game. It explains the methods by which they promote learning and the situations for which they are best suited." "Part Two comprises a directory of some 300 management games, compiled from questionnaires completed by their producers. Each game is described in terms of its target group, subject areas, nature and purpose, and the means by which the outcome is established and made known. The entries also give administrative details such as the number of players, the number of teams and the time required. A specially designed system of indexes enables readers to locate precisely those games that would be suitable for their own situation." "In its new edition Chris Elgood's Handbook remains an indispensable work for anyone concerned with management development."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book HRD Trainer s Handbook of Management Games written by P. L. Rao and published by . This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Games can be succinctly described as simulation exercises used to effectively demonstrate structured experiences. The present day management education is shifting from providing class-room teaching to practical learning, so that the participants get adequately equipped with knowledge to perform successfully in life. Exercises simulate a process with enough scope for improvisation, adaptation and redesigning according to the situational needs. The basic skill involved in the exercises is process analysis. Games have set rules, a predictable result, a hidden design to highlight or demonstrate a behavioural process and they produce dramatic effects. Games are quite effective in their purpose, but they can't be played again and again, because they usually have elaborate procedures and concomitant paraphernalia. These games train managers learn better ways to solve problems, take decisions rapidly, experiment and take calculated risks for business objectives. They also learn to work in teams, develop better attitude and respect leadership. This book attempts to provide a wide range of Management Games, Management Exercises, Role Plays, Ice Breakers, etc. It is divided into three parts. Part I contains Management Games, Part II contains Exercises and Part III deals with the basic tools of behavioral simulation— the Role Play, Instruments, Demonstrations, Ice Breakers and Hiatus. Along with the standard simulation exercises, used in achievement motivation or entrepreneurial development programmes, a multitude of other exercises to develop relevant motivational dimensions have also been included in this book.

Download or read book Business game based learning in management education written by Nicola Baldissin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Games are a specific typology of serious games which combine business simulations and games to support management and entrepreneurial training. This volume presents the theory and teaching methodology of business games. Active learning is the foundation of business game-based learning which places learners at the centre of the educational process: the interactive nature of games stimulates learning, and learning by doing through simulations prepares students to face and understand the ambiguities and uncertainties of the real working environment. With its balance of theoretical and practical content this book aims to meet the needs of lecturers and other education professionals interested in the use and development of business games. High school teachers and other education providers can learn how to correctly design a management course enriched by the use of a business game. The book also deals with the design and development of models that can be used in the creation of new software.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first computer simulation book for anyone designing or building a game Answering the growing demand for a book catered for those who design, develop, or use simulations and games this book teaches you exactly what you need to know in order to understand the simulations you build or use all without having to earn another degree. Organized into three parts, this informative book first defines computer simulations and describes how they are different from live-action and paper-based simulations. The second section builds upon the previous, with coverage of the technical details of simulations, a detailed description of how models are built, and an explanation of how those models are translated into simulations. Finally, the last section develops four examples that walk you through the process from model to finished and functional simulation, all of which are created using freely available software and all of which can be downloaded. Targets anyone interested in learning about the inner workings of a simulation or game, but may not necessarily be a programmer or scientist Offers technical details on what simulations are and how they are built without overwhelming you with intricate jargon Breaks down simulation vs. modeling and traditional vs. computer simulations Examines verification and validation and discusses simulation tools Whether you need to learn how simulations work or it's something you've always been curious about but couldn't find the right resource, look no further. The Guide to Computer Simulations and Games is the ideal book for getting a solid understanding of this fascinating subject.
