Six Swift Simulations on Globalization

Abstract

Most business simulations are lengthy affairs, often lasting through a semester. In contrast, this session involves six rapid simulation games dealing with the themes of multiculturalism and globalization. The primary purpose of the session is to introduce participants to the motivational and instructional effectiveness of simulations that last for brief periods of time-but provide rich experiences that can benefit from lengthy debriefing. The session will involve the actual play of six swift simulations, and model facilitation techniques suited for rapid experiential actinides. Participants should be able to borrow and apply all of the six swift simulations in a variety of training and team-building situations
