Gaming environments can be complex, and the choices and timing of players’ actions may have long-term effects on the state of the game. Team members practice communication skills as they exchange information and coordinate actions, and games provide objective feedback about their performance. Despite these advantages, integration of multiplayer online games into business courses can present technical and instructional challenges. This article introduces an online game, CyberStrike, in which student teams play roles of state or nonstate actors attempting to protect their own information systems while selectively attacking competitors’ information systems. The game can be useful in organizational behavior courses because it engages students in decision-making processes and inter-group dynamics that highlight relevant principles in action. As student teams try to foster cooperation within a competitive environment, consequences of their decision-making, strategy development, and boundary-spanning activities become apparent. Guidelines for teaching with CyberStrike are provided, along with suggestions for incorporating multirole online games into business school classes.</p>","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"20 3","pages":"145-157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46195883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because business simulations are often used to provide a learning context, we wondered if this context-specific learning would transfer. To explore this issue, we used situated learning theory to ask undergraduate students in an operations management class to apply their learning in both familiar, simulation contexts, and unfamiliar, nonsimulation contexts. Using contextually based exam questions, we empirically measured learner performance on low and high cognitive effort questions. We were able to provide some support for the constructivist learning theory's hypothesis that learners can take the principles constructed in a business simulation and apply them in other contexts. Additionally, we explored the implications of confidence/self-efficacy theory and demonstrated that transfer may differ based on cognitive effort.</p>","PeriodicalId":46210,"journal":{"name":"Decision Sciences-Journal of Innovative Education","volume":"20 2","pages":"89-101"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44772294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
