This review takes a broad look at the management gaming movement and summarizes how the field has evolved to its current state. The article defines terms and parametersfor the management gamingfield and briefly reviews the history of business gaming. Several models of experiential learning applicable to gaming are explained. Included are studies on the educational value of management games and a review of the literature that deals with management games and simulations as research laboratories. Some of the field's trends and future developments are also projected.
