A Review Of The Use Of Business Simulation To Enhance Students" Employability (WIP)

Abstract

This paper investigates the potential use of business simulation games in enhancing employability skills of undergraduate business students in UK higher education institutions. It identifies the meaning of employability to different stakeholders in order to generate a list of skills that are considered important to various stakeholders as employers, government and academics. The benefits and learning outcomes as well as perceived limitations of business simulation games are then defined. Employability skills that can be improved using business simulation games and the importance of mapping and testing employability skills developments in simulation business environment are recognised.

(Asiri et al, 2017), in their study, found that students who have experience doing business simulations are more easily accepted to work.

Of course, this is advantageous for a university if it has business simulation courses in its curriculum.…”
