Abstract
Little is known about the extent to which computerized business and management simulation games (business games) are used in the United Kingdom (UK). This article describes the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in 1987 into the use of computerized business games in the UK by business and academia. The questionnaire was sent to the top 500 companies, universities, polytechnics, and various private providers of training in the UK The survey covers, among other things, the amount of game use (both current and anticipated), the views of users and nonusers on the usefulness of games, the number of games used, and the length of time that games have been used. The findings are compared with a similar survey conducted in the United States by Faria.Keywords
