Academic Solutions

Browse below to learn how business simulation gaming can help your institution to capture the attention and engagement of students. Our innovative methodology is designed to help instructors, professors, and students experience current day; theoretical business concepts applied within a simulated real world business scenario…much as a pilot learns to fly by using a flight simulator! OGG Business Simulations make both the transmission and reception of knowledge more dynamic.

Uses & Applications

The use of gamification to fortify educational objectives is on the rise in both corporate and academic sectors. Business simulations infused with classic business educational concepts reinforces learning and provides an excellent platform on which to evaluate student's retention of key principles and practices. Students are able to solve problems on a "live set". The impact of decisions taken is reflected in outcomes, some positive, others not so. The simulation provides students with invaluable insights. This why OGG can help your institution!

The simulations developed by OGG are powerful academic tools that will facilitate participant learning along with the acquisition of both hard and soft skills. Our "games" incorporate interdisciplinary concepts and theories that come alive via the "gamified" platform, such that they are more readily embraced and understood.

Instructor & Student Benefits

There are many benefits associated with using business simulations or business games within a curriculum. Professors and students alike attest to the following Top Ten Benefits.

Professors & Institutions

Studies have shown that this methodology is an excellent complement to conventional lecture-based learning. The interactive nature of simulation attracts and holds participant attention by bringing the lectures to life!
Games present and test participant understanding of business concepts simultaneously;
Simulation business cases and decision variables are fully customizable and may be modified in accordance with course subject matter and key learning objectives;
Simulation business cases and decision variables are fully customizable and may be modified in accordance with course subject matter and key learning objectives;
Business simulations facilitate interdisciplinary learning;
Abstract theoretical concepts may be integrated and come alive within any given simulation;
Simulations include a variety of analytical tools, and professors can easily generate supporting case reports;
Adaptable for different programs within the academic curriculum;
Business games promote development of teamworking skills;
Low acquisition & implementation cost.

Participants & Students

Dynamic interactive game attributes make learning fun;
Games draw upon multiple competencies;
Experiential learning is more effective at "driving the lesson home";
Successful game play develops systemic understanding of complex concepts (finance, economics, management, marketing, operations, etc.)
Peer competition stimulates learning
Sophisticated simulations mirror business reality
Continual feedback through simulation’s available reports
Business simulation help students to align theory with practice
Simulations promote advance planning and analytical thinking
Business simulations also reinforce the decision-making process

Late Program

OGG Master

In OGG’s Master simulation, we have integrated the total range of business concepts covered in the course. The case for participants includes complex scenarios complete with detailed reports, from which participants can gage the result of their efforts.

MAIN FEATURES

Simulations Highlights

We practice constant innovation, bringing new features to each version of our business simulation solutions. Our aim is to facilitate the instructor's work while continuously enhancing the quality and experience of participants' gameplay. Below we list just a few of the differentials that distinguish OGG from others in the market.

Internal Messaging System

Communicate quickly and easily with simulation players via the game system.

Materials Repository

Storage and easy access to all supplementary materials provided by OGG directly in the simulator.

Full Support

Throughout the license agreement, instructors or game administrators enjoy total support from OGG in administration of the game, system operation and analysis/evaluation of game results.

Artificial Intelligence

Two layers of artificial intelligence enable the production of outstanding support reports and control panels for extended analysis.

Tips

At the start of each business quarter, OGG provides instructors valuable tips related to game administration within the context of their learning program.

Customized Scenerios

The instructor is able to manage/modify all variables within the game scenario. This includes business news, demand factors, scoring system, etc.

Easy to use

All business games have been developed to work on common internet platforms (or all computing devices). That is, OGG simulations do not require the installation of any additional software to run.

Automated Ranking

An automatic scoring system facilitates the game administrator’s work in evaluating results achieved by the players in managing their companies..

Automated Scheduling

Using pre-defined schedules, the teacher (or game administrator) can automate the timing of the rounds. Total automation!.

BSC Dashboard

OGG simulations feature a BSC based dashboard (available IND and Int’l B. only).

Compatibility

OGG Business simulation solutions run on desktops, laptops and tablet devices.
