A Forecast of Business Gaming in the Year 2010

A panel of prominent authors and researchers were queriedvia the Delphi technique to determine the future nature of business gaming. Although the future's typical computer will be more flexible and more powerful, most business schools will not possess "cutting edge" technology. The typical game will simulate more issues and interactions, and the game's administrator will have more playing options available. Many decision-making aids will supplement game play within global rather than domestic competitive situations. The division between computer-based games and paper-based experiential exercises will be blurred through the use of game-generated exercises and case analysis software.
