What kinds of management game are now available? How do they differ from one another? How do they compare with other ways of learning? Where can I find the most suitable games for the training objectives I have in mind? Handbook of Management Games offers detailed answers to these questions and many others. For this fifth edition the text has been virtually rewritten to take account of new developments. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to choosing and using games for management training and development.
Part One of the Handbook examines the characteristics and applications of the different types of game. It explains the methods by which they promote learning and the situations for which they are best suited.
Part Two comprises a directory of some 300 management games, compiled from questionnaires completed by their producers. Each game is described in terms of its target group, subject areas, nature and purpose, and the means by which the outcome is established and made known. The entries also give administrative details such as the number of players, the number of teams and the time required. A specially designed system of indexes enables readers to locate precisely those games that would be suitable for their own situation.
In its new edition Chris Elgood's Handbook remains an indispensable work for anyone concerned with management development.
