- Abstract
- Now more business schools use simulation technology to develop their students’ capabilities. However, there is a few framework and methodology one needs to understand the mechanisms of the student learning process in business simulation games. Based on the game and the competition we developed in China, a qualitative study was conducted with data collection and a series of in-depth interviews (or focus groups) with experts, scholars, and students. The research constructed theoretical relationships and developed a grounded theory of business skills learning and development in a competing environment. The study found that students who played the simulated business game in a competitive setting used a participatory learning model and become more professional, powerful and creative in their future professions. The learning by playing model provided an innovative approach in solving the educational and technical challenges of IS education.
