However, to become a true  learning enterprise, organizations cannot stop at instilling this  yearning for knowledge into their collaborators. They must also  capture and formalize the common know-how of the organization, as well  as provide time and infrastructure to allow learning moments to  happen. The aim of the Gaming Workgroup within IFIP 5.7 on Integrated  Production Management Systems and the European Group of University  Teachers for Industrial Management EHTB is to develop tools and  formalisms to support experimental learning in these organizations. It  has been proven that modelling the know-how, using visual environments  such as multimedia and graphic simulations, is a first step. This in  turn allows for the development of games, i.e. challenging settings  that foster group interaction and problem solving. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eGames in Operations Management\u003c\/em\u003e provides an excellent overview of  the different game formats that have been developed and tested in past  years, and includes games in a manufacturing environment, games in a  services environment, and games for teaching organizational values.  The book comprises the selected, revised proceedings of the 4th  International Workshop on Games in Production Management: Experimental  Learning in Industrial Management, which was sponsored by the  International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in  November, 1998, in Ghent, Belgium. \u003cbr\u003e  The book will be of particular interest to organizational trainers,  providing a good overview of state-of-the-art game and training  formats as well as hints and advice on how to organize interactive  training sessions. It will also be of interest to researchers in  industrial engineering, industrial management, and operations  management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792378440\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-35506-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 206\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378908520588,"sku":"9780792378440","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792378440.jpg?v=1770782450","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792378440","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
