The Linking of a Collective Bargaining Simulation and a Business Simulation Game – A Case Study

Abstract

Using the Imaginit Game as a foundation, two courses, Collective Bargaining and Integrated Management, were linked. It was felt that linking the two courses would provide students with a more realistic approach to both collective bargaining and the business simulation. Additionally, it was expected that students would achieve a higher level of competence, insight, and motivation as a result of the linkage. Data collected following the linkage showed that a high percentage of the students felt that these goals had been achieved.
