Publications related to the EIS Simulation, its underlying conceptual model, its design, and its effectiveness as a learning experience:
Business Navigator: The Next Generation of Management Development Tools;
Focus, No. 1, pp. 24-31.
The 'Business Navigator Method' presented in this paper proposes a model which projects managers into a virtual business environment.
The manager will experience the difficulties of thinking, moving, understanding and acting in this highly interactive & realistic environment.
Ever wanted to test-drive an idea without risk before implementing it in your company? The exercise can tell you a lot - like how resistant your organization is to change, and how well your management team leads change. Most companies are surprised by what they learn.
Leveraging Emerging Technologies in Management Education: Research and Experiences;
European Management Journal, Vol. 15, No. 3, pp. 275-285, June.
This article describes how the Business Navigator method, can be adopted as a basis for integrating
advanced multimedia telecommunication, object-oriented simulation, intelligent agents and virtual
reality technology to design 'flight simulator'-like learning experiences with high pedagogical value.
Understanding Organizational Dynamics of IT-Enabled Change: A Multimedia Simulation Approach;
Journal of Management Information Systems, Vol. 14, No. 3, pp. 109-140, Winter.
This paper presents the EIS Simulation (a computer-based multimedia simulation that allows managers
to experience the process of introducing an EIS in a fictitious organisation) and discusses its potential pedagogical benefits,
possible extensions, and use in a research context.
A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Development Programmes for Change Agents;
Proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS'99), Copenhagen, Denmark.
In this paper we derive a framework for assessing training programmes for
change agents, based on an extensive review of the literature on change management models and the skills
and competencies necessary to manage change successfully.
C-VIBE: A Virtual Interactive Business Environment addressing Change Management Learning;
Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (I-CALT 2001), Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
C-VIBE is an advanced learning system taking advantage of simulation, multimedia, virtual reality, agents/avatars-based, and multi-user,
distributed communication technologies to deliver a realistic learning experience addressing the dynamics of change and innovation processes in organizations.
