Abstract
A company in an increasingly globalized and competitive world needs to present itself more innovative, more customer-oriented, and capable of interpreting and responding to the challenges of the world. Game4Manager is a serious game in a 3D online environment where the learner’s role is to implement an Integrated Management System in a virtual company in 12 levels, analyzing, managing and improving all the significant aspects related to the company’s sustainable development. In this chapter, the authors review the framework for Game4Manager’s development, its implementation, and analyze this new learning approach based on gaming in a focus group. Game4Manager is a European project funded by Leonardo Da Vinci Programme during 2009-2010, developed by a consortium of six European institutions from five different countries (Portugal, France, Greece, Hungary, and Sweden).
