Long Live Your Business Game

Abstract

One year ago I had the pleasure of contributing an article to Simulation/Gaming/News indicating that infant mortality of business games has been excessively high. In the year since that pronouncement at least 70 to 80 new games have come into being and a similar number have expired. In the seventeen years since the inception of management decision simulation, at least a thousand games have been conceived, gestated, and after a brief period of love and fond expectation, most of these new-born games were simply added to the infant- game mortality statistics.
