“…As learners play these games, they quickly grasp key decision factors in supply chain management, making capacity, forecasting, and inventory management decisions. They can formulate an efficient logistics network that maximizes supply chain performance, concurrently managing demand and inventory [14,[142][143][144][145][146]. By addressing order fulfillment and capacity management, these games aim to reduce costs [133].…”

Background: This study provides a comprehensive overview of current supply chain challenges and how they are taught within university circles or among supply chain professionals to simulate reality. Methods: The study applied a systematic literature review, using bibliometric co-citation and concept-centered content analysis for a comprehensive review of 118 relevant articles, leading to the identification of critical challenges in modern supply chain management. Results: These challenges include supplier selection and quality, supply chain networks, and sustainable supply chains. Supply chain educators are encouraged to use games that mirror real-world scenarios to teach these challenges. Results from this review underscore that existing games covered supply chain concepts such as the bullwhip effect, collaboration, networks, supplier selection, quality management, humanitarian logistics, sustainability, lean supply chain, Supply Chain 4.0, and perishable goods supply. Conclusions: The study’s contribution is to assist in selecting games tailored to the supply chain specific aspects and to guide developers in creating realistic games that address recent challenges in supply chain management. It recommends a holistic approach to enhance new supply chain game development, drawing from methodologies such as problem-based learning and Lego Serious Play. This multifaceted approach imparts practical knowledge and comprehensive skills for addressing supply chain intricacies in modern business settings.

“…A simulation-based business game "ECLIPS game" was developed for teaching the elaborated supply chain management approach ( [34], [35]). Here different supply chain structures could be designed by means of atomic models that represent various supply chain elements, e.g., a production facility, warehouse, transportation (by track or ship), distribution, retailer, customer demand (see Fig.…”

This paper summarizes the research in the field of modelling and simulation of complex systems conducted in recent years at the Department of Modelling and Simulation of Riga Technical University under the supervision of the corresponding member of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, Prof., Dr.habil.sc.ing. Yuri Merkuryev (Jurijs Merkurjevs). The main attention is devoted to developments within integrated simulation methodologies that incorporate simulation with other scientific approaches for the analysis, optimisation and management of complex systems, with a special focus on logistics systems. Practical application of the developed methods is considered by referencing to implemented research projects. Future research directions are also discussed.

“…BSG has been employed at a higher pace within academia to harness the real potential of students ( Clarke, 2009 ). BSG has put comprehensive and wide-ranging verities in education and training that enable students to learn and experience the scientific environment ( Merkuryev and Bikovska, 2012 ). The literature has indicated that BSG has various advantages, such as increasing learning, knowledge, and skills.…”

The ongoing pandemic has transformed communication modes globally. Especially in the case of higher education, where countermeasures against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have affected students’ learning experience. This study emphasized the case of business simulation games, where critical factors were underlined to define learners’ intention to use an online learning environment through the lens of task technology fit (TTF) as a theoretical stance. This study considered the statistical analysis of 523 students who attended the business simulation module online at the tertiary level of education. Findings conclude that flow experience is the most critical factor to define learners’ perceived TTF in the case of an online learning experience. However, the learners’ self-efficacy is significant enough to map learners’ intentions to use an online environment for learning. The study discussed several theoretical and practical implications for learners’ educators and policymakers.
