Using GBG in Your Course

Determine the learning objectives

Before beginning to configure The Global Business Game, it helps to take time to state specifically what you want all players to come away with from the experience.

Your objectives may include:
		offer beginning business students an overview to the challenges and rewards of managing an international company,
		reinforcing knowledge gained in the student's preceding course or semester,
		having the game serve as an introduction to advanced level coursework in the strategic management major or a major in international business or finance, or
		acting as a "capstone" or integrating experience at the end of a business program.

Decide on game configuration - tailor your game

In addition to the above mentioned options, in the World and Americas Editions, you may introduce "critical incidents" during the game. The critical incidents present additional ethical and human factor challenges for your students.

Tie simulation into your course curriculum

Once you have created your set of learning objectives, present them as part of your course syllabus. On the day you hand out your syllabus, take a few minutes to go over why you have chosen to use a business game. Post the game's learning objectives somewhere in your office in a readily visible spot. This is so you will stay focused on "the big picture" and rise above the excitement you have produced by using The Global Business Game.

Once you register as GBG Instructor, you will find that the instructor materials and templates provided within the simulation make the process of adding the simulation to your course very straightforward.
