Building Strategies for Organizational Development with Simulation Games

摘要

Organizational development understood as a long-term systematic approach to the organizational change management strategy plays a very important role in management studies. One of the topics particularly interesting in this area is using simulation games as effective interventions for organizational change at the level of individuals, teams, and organizations. Based on an analytical review of the current state of theoretical and practical knowledge, the author proposes a new model of games classification in the area of strategic usage of simulation games as means to achieve goals of organizational development. The model combines the framework of both games classification and organizational goals within typical simulation gaming methods. The model has been designed to act as the basis for operationalization strategies for organizations to develop with simulation games.
