Résumé
We explore the dynamic landscape of practice-oriented teaching in higher education, focusing on effectively integrating educational games (serious games) to impart management and economic concepts. The effects of and reasons for using games and simulations in management teaching is relatively well known, but the varied impact and use of different types of games is less explored. Therefore, this chapter contributes with a comparative analysis of various game types, including role-based play, simulations, system dynamics, and decision tree logic-based games. It elucidates their unique pedagogical strengths and applications across various management disciplines. By examining the diverse spectrum of educational games, educators can strategically select and employ these tools to engage students, foster critical thinking, and cultivate practical skills in management education.
