ABSTRACT
The Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity world not only has implications for organizations and its managers but also for how these managers are trained. This refers to some extent to the issue of learning and development, but also to management education at business schools. Business education was the first application of wargaming methodology in a corporate context in business games or management games. One potential application for business wargaming in an organizational context is to familiarize newly hired employees with the organization, in particular with its capabilities. This is especially powerful in organizations involved in project work and similar situations where people with different skill sets need to work together successfully. The main objectives for the students were to apply their theoretical knowledge of strategy and strategy formulation in a simulation. The facilitators of the seminar and the business wargame took on the role of the control team.
