| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 會計學研究所 === 98 === In recent years, management simulation related courses have become popular in business schools. These courses were designed to increase Students’ ability of decision planning and execution. With the development and progress of digital technologies, more and more educators pay attention to the concept of digital game-based learning. Many educators believe that the students’ learning motivation and interest of learning can be enhanced by participating in management games. The purpose of this research is to design a new management simulation system which combines the balance scorecard, situated learning, and digital game-based learning. That system is called balance scorecard (BSC) management simulation system.
This BSC management simulation system is a digital game. It can make learning more interesting and more easily. The application of BSC is the main idea of the game. Combined the decision execution system, the system help students to understand how to use the BSC in making strategic decisions, and how to integrate the processes of personnel, strategy and operation in executing business decisions.
The coding of the system was carried out by the senior students of the department of information management during a two semester course of information systems development project at the school of management, National Central University. In order to test the effectiveness of the system, we planned an eight weeks pilot course, which were conducted in a management-related course at the same university. We conducted the questionnaire survey of BSC management simulation system twice, once at the fifth week, another after the pilot course. The quantitative and qualitative data from the pilot course were collected and analyzed. The results of the analysis revealed that the BSC management simulation system can help learners to facilitate their learning about the content of balance scorecard and decision execution. During this project, the team members have experienced the spirit of teamwork, and have made valuable friendship.
