Abstract
Business games are used for organizational performance interventions as well as for educational purposes. To what extent can games be designed for intervention and used for educational purposes (and vice versa)? The authors study the learning efficacy of a game originally designed to support the implementation of the growth strategy for a client organization, a Dutch SME operating on the global market. Data was collected systematically through surveys before and after the game, 1 session with 25 executives from the client company and 2 sessions with 39 students of entrepreneurship. The findings indicate that although the learning efficacy, game quality and enjoyment among both groups are good or average, the differences are significant. The conclusion is that although business games in general are an effective intervention and active learning tool, the influence of contextual factors on learning among students may be more pronounced than it is among the executives for which the game has originally been designed.
