 * BT BUSINESS GAME, Mark (16/08/07)**

Found this interactive Business Game (sponsored by BT) on my wanderings in cyberspace. Seems like it could be fun with a small group interested in discussing ethical issues in business. The idea is you take over as CEO of a company and have to make ethical decisions as you go along. At each stage you can see the implications of your decisions as well as your popularity rating with different stakeholders. News bulletins give you advance information you may be able to use later in the game. You can do a longer or much shorter version, depending on the time you have (you can also save the game and return to it), and at the end you read a mock-authentic news article which reports your success or failure as CEO. Neat wrap-up. There's a also a version you can print out if you can't teach the material online. Why aren't there more of these kind of things?http://www.btplc.com/Societyandenvironment/Businessgame/index.htm Let me know how it works in practice.
