Title
Using a Simulation Game Approach to Introduce ERP Concepts - A Case Study.
Abstract
ERP systems are huge and complex systems, therefore, the introduction of these solutions into a study program and process is quite challenging. Especially if there is only a small ERP course within the scope of which students are expected to gain an understanding of ERP systems from both a functional (business process) and implementation perspective. Fortunately, business simulation games have proved their efficacy in enhancing the learning of business-related subjects. In this paper we present some preliminary results of a study aimed at investigating the appropriateness and effectiveness of the business simulation game approach for introductory ERP lectures/classes at the Master Degree ERP course provided to students of informatics and technologies of communication. The results demonstrate that the Game Simulation method was well accepted by both students as well as instructors, and recognized as a valuable teaching method for an ERP course.
