Teaching Ethics With a Business Simulation Game
Ethics — a timely topic in our changing world.
It seems there are more ethical failures these days than ever. Or perhaps there are not and it's our enhanced communications that make them easier to spot and share.
In any event, ethics is an important topic in education to prepare students for the real world.
Ethics can be both simple and complicated.
In my business, I like to simplify it by saying that "we always do the right thing even if it costs us money."
Of course, ethics can be more than that and there is a lot of nuance that can be difficult to capture.
How can we teach ethics?
There are plenty of real-world examples of ethical failures, so using case studies is an obvious approach. Role-playing can also be effective.
In this video, I demonstrate how we enable students to directly experience ethics in two different business simulation games — GoVenture CEO and GoVenture WORLD.
