“It’s like a flight simulator, but real.”
The business simulation game for future managers
Pierre-Majorique Léger, HEC Montréal
In Short
The ERPsim game is designed to prepare students and prospective managers for the business world. Under real-life conditions the students have to manage a virtual company in a competitive market with an SAP system. The problem- and learning-based approach gives them a long-term understanding of how business and business processes work.
Pierre-Majorique Léger and his colleagues developed a new type of simulation game for teaching Enterprise Systems in the early 2000s. Since then, it has won several awards. The ERPsim game is designed to prepare students and prospective managers for the business world. The students use real software under a simulated condition and thus learn in the long term how business and business processes work.
