Benefits of Microworlds for Business Schools and Universities Global Strategy Dynamics Microworlds have been established in the business school environment and are ideal for graduate, post graduate and executive education. The simulations are provided with comprehensive teaching packs , including case studies where appropriate, that can be rapidly incorporated into new and existing courses . The principles and concepts embodied within the simulations are both highly popular and firmly grounded in established strategy theory , notably the dynamic resource based view of the firm. They can be used to support strategy and business studies lectures using mainstream course texts, and include materials that go beyond these traditional limits. The simulations can form as large or small a part of courses as is desirable.
Students benefit from group sessions where role-play is possible, and from individual study.
Users are encouraged not to video game , as typically found with many computer simulations, but to step back and develop specific, robust strategies which are tested using the Microworlds. Global Strategy Dynamics Microworlds thus form a substantive and popular element of course teaching. Each simulation has its own learning points and so you will wish to consider how to incorporate them in your current programmes. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
