Material Detail

The Beer Distribution Game, one of the oldest and most widely used management simulations, is now available online as an interactive multiplayer websim.  Provides an opportunity for participants to play the role of managers in a complex dynamic system, specifically, managers in a supply chain representing the production and distribution of beer (there is no alcohol in the game; for younger audiences, the product can be root beer).  The sim works well with groups of any size, from four to four hundred or more, and with participants from students to seasoned executives.  Designed to replicate the in-person table-top experience, the MIT Sloan online Beer Game has been used with thousands of people in universities and companies around the world.  The game can be used in fully remote, in-person, and hybrid sessions.  Participants need not prepare anything in advance.  Instructor materials provide all the information needed for facilitators to run and debrief the game effectively.
