ERP Simulation Game Teaching and Research Perspectives (HICSS 09) : Prof Paul Cronan Ph.D.

ERP simulations can bring a new dimension to ERP research. An ERP simulation game constitutes a controlled laboratory experiment. Since we are able to track all transactions used by the participants through the course of the simulation, it provides access to usage data that are typically not available to researchers. Hence a large set of research topics may exploit data form ERP simulation games: (i) effectiveness of simulations as a training approach for information technology, (ii) analysis of the impact and design of interfaces and functionality of enterprise systems on team performance, (iii) analysis of the impact and design of decision support systems and business intelligence tools, (iv) analysis of the performance of virtual teams and electronic collaboration tools, (v) analysis of the role of team organization and job design in team performance, and others.
