    MANAGEMENT GAMES

    OBJECTIVES:

    General management games probably do not teach anything very specific about the
    business enterprise or the management of the firm. However, they may serve to
    demonstrate some very broad facts of organizational life such as that all areas of an
    enterprise are inter-related, or that they have to be coordinated, or that each of them is
    important. The emotional impact of gaming probably does make it a suitable technique for
    changing attitudes, provided the game situation is sufficiently clear-cut to pinpoint the
    attitude to be changed. Although gaming can hardly be said to teach organizational decision
    making per se, it does provide experience in learning from experience, particularly in the
    application of statistical and analytical methods. Games undoubtedly do provoke interest
    which may lead the participant to additional reading and study. They may change
    attitudes and they do seem to give some sort of "feel" for organizational problems.

    1. This is a training technique in which participants, grouped into teams, consider a


    sequence of problems and organize themselves to make decisions. It is a form of
    simulation .
    2. Most games concentrate on general management principles, such as long-range
    planning, decision making, and effective utilization of time, men and materials.
    Other games aim at teaching very specific skills and techniques, particularly those
    games which are built around the production, marketing and financial functions.
    3. The purpose of management games is to increase a person's understanding of (1)
    specific organizational problems (marketing, production, etc.); (2) the inter-
    relatedness of the functions and parts of an organization and its relation to its
    environment; (3) the problems of organization policy and decision making; (4) the
    problems of working in a team.

    A manual of management games has been prepared at DAIMSR which includes the
    objectives, instructions, materials required, group size, etc.
