Abstract

Due to the fast development of information technology, a variety of edutainment software has been used in the field of business education. One of them is Business Simulation Game that the business game domain and the information technology is definitely associated. A lot of business simulation game have been developed and used for many courses of colleges and corporate training in USA and EU. However, education program based on business simulation game has not been activated in Korea. This paper introduce a business simulation game developed by joint effort of business professors and a software firm for last three years and suggest the method of business education using this business simulation game. First of all, the development process, architecture and procedure of business simulation game are summarized. From a perspective of business education, the effect and advantage of business simulation game, sample syllabus, course outlines, users, missions and evaluation method are also addressed.

디지털 기술이 발전함에 따라서 다양한 에듀테인먼트 유형의 컨텐츠가 경영 교육 분야에 활용되고 있다. 그 중에서 현실 세계를 가상 게임화 해서 기업 경영을 체험해 보는 경영 모의 게임(business simulation game)이 경영 교육 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있다. 외국의 많은 대학과 기업에서는 경영 모의 게임을 경영 교육 도구로서 널리 활용하고 있으나 국내에서는 상대적으로 널리 활용되고 있지 못하는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 지난 2년 반 동안 산학 협동으로 개발한 경영 모의 게임을 소개하고, 이를 이용한 경영 교육 활용 방안을 제시하고 있다. 먼저 경영 모의 게임의 개발 방법, 구조, 진행 방법을 중심으로 경영 모의 게임의 개발 과정을 설명하고 있다. 다음에 경영 모의 게임을 경영 교육에 활용하기 위한 방안으로서 교육 효과, 장점/단점, 교육 대상, 교육 효과 강화 방안, 경영 미션, 교육 계획안, 평가 방법을 중심으로 논의하였다.
