Business wargaming for teaching strategy making

An increasingly complex and dynamic business environment requires new approaches to teaching strategy to management students. Business wargaming, a dynamic strategic simulation, is discussed as a management simulation which can respond to the contemporary challenges in management education. Reflecting on the practical use of business wargaming in the classroom, it is described how such simulations prepare management students for making strategic decisions in complex and dynamic environments characterised by high uncertainty concerning the future.
