Abstract

We have developed and are using a multi-player simulation game for learning about ethical issues in international development. Unique challenges of ethics simulations are avoiding obvious 'right' answers and promoting thoughtful discussion, while maintaining a fun and interactive flow of game events. This simulation uses forced tradeoffs, managed competition between players, and an innovative public opinion system to provide such a game environment. An initial run of the game in an undergraduate business ethics course demonstrated it to be an engaging and discussion-provoking experience.
