With its balance of theoretical and practical content this book aims to meet the needs of lecturers and other education professionals interested in the use and development of business games. High school teachers and other education providers can learn how to correctly design a management course enriched by the use of a business game. The book also deals with the design and development of models that can be used in the creation of new software.

Addressing social inequalities and fostering holistic well-being has never been more pressing. As people grapple with environmental challenges and navigate the complexities of human interactions, the need for a paradigm shift in how businesses are managed becomes vital. Seeking to confront the profound issue at the heart of our societal fabric — the need for organizations, both public and private, to transcend conventional practices— emerges Game-Based Education Approaches to Inclusive Business Management as a tool for change. The book advocates for a transformative approach that integrates game-based learning and working methodologies to instigate a shift towards inclusivity, social responsibility, and overall well-being. Scholars, academics, practitioners, and those passionate about reshaping our societal fabric are invited to contribute to this collective effort, shaping a future where inclusivity and well-being are not mere ideals but integral components of business management. Grounded in the understanding that the fate of our planet hinges not only on environmental responsibility but also on the quality of human interactions within our work environments, this book ventures into uncharted territory. The objective is clear: to dissect the challenges impeding inclusive practices in business management. By melding research with game-based methodologies, the book seeks to uncover solutions that transcend traditional boundaries. It endeavors to examine the complexities of reducing inequalities and fostering inclusivity by delving into organizational, economic, and personal perspectives. The fusion of game-based learning and game-based working emerges as a driving force for promoting organizational well-being, challenging existing norms, and paving the way for a future where inclusivity is not just an aspiration but an intrinsic aspect of business management.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of games to enhance learning across multiple educational levels, and extensive research has shown that games have considerable potential for enhancing learning, motivation and skills development. However, despite a growing acknowledgement of this potential, challenges remain and the use of games in formal education contexts remains far from mainstream. While some studies identify design and development issues as a key barrier – including associated costs – others highlight organisational and infrastructural difficulties involved in implementing games in the classroom. More recently, increasing recognition of these difficulties has led many to explore how gaming elements (rather than fully fledged games) can be used to engage and enhance student learning – a practice now widely referred to as “gamification”. This edited collection of chapters explores the application, potential and challenges of game-based learning and gamification across multiple disciplines and sectors, including psychology, education, business, history, languages and the creative arts. With contributions exploring the use of games across the full educational spectrum – from early childhood education, through to the corporate sector – it provides comprehensive insights into the potential of games and play for facilitating learning and engagement at every life stage.
