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 examined the education effect of business simulation game. It was found that managers who were educated and trained with business simulation game were very satisfied with a business simulation game. Based on the statistical results, the method of business education using business simulation game was also suggested.

디지털 기술이 발전함에 따라서 다양한 유형의 디지털 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. 다른 경영 교육 방법에 비해서 많은 장점을 가지고 있는 경영 모의 게임은 외국의 많은 대학과 기업에서 경영 교육 도구로서 널리 활용하고 있으나 국내에서는 널리 활용되고 있지 못하는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 경영 모의 게임을 수강한 기업 관리자를 중심으로 경영 모의 게임의 교육 효과를 탐색적으로 분석하였다. 통계적 분석 결과, 경영 모의 게임을 수강한 교육생들은 경영 모의 게임의 교육 효과에 대해서 긍정적으로 생각하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 통계적 분석 결과와 경영 모의 게임의 개발과 교육 경험을 기반으로 경영 모의 게임을 교육 현장에 활성화할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
