Business Simulation: how to make your class more dynamic?

Do you know what Business Simulation is? A virtual simulator can have various functions. From pure entertainment to teaching dense theoretical concepts, this concept originates from gamification.

Business simulation, also known as business games or management simulation, is a tool that can facilitate teaching in various academic areas. Want to know more about it? Keep reading!

Concept of business simulation

A business simulation aims to expand the participant's knowledge in the areas of management, logistics, administration, human resources, business, etc. Thus, the action of using a simulator allows this knowledge to be acquired in a pragmatic manner. Furthermore, it is a foundation for reinforcing skills such as teamwork, concentration, and critical thinking.

Moreover, a business simulation can be a support for both corporate training and undergraduate and graduate classes. This is because it allows for expanding the discussion of many themes, concepts, and issues that arise throughout the game.

Benefits for your class

First of all, a business simulation has the quality of being a playful resource. In this sense, it is possible to provide more accessible and creative learning, with visual stimuli and interactive resources. And this causes more interest from the participants.

Additionally, simulators are a great tool for contextualizing dense topics. This is because it is possible to have a good visualization of how processes actually occur in an organization.

Thus, the student has more contact with different sectors and perceives, in a practical way, how decision-making has repercussions. They will also have the possibility and autonomy to deal with errors, failures, and results.

In this way, it is possible to train managers who can have a broad vision of an entire production chain. After all, with a business simulation, it is possible to have instant feedback on how a choice determines the results of a single process or the project as a whole.

Therefore, a business simulation provides the tools for the participant to make their own analyses and plans. It also allows for self-correction throughout the activity, which also stimulates autonomy in a naturalized way.
