ILMG GAME: LEARNING ARRANGEMENTS AND SIMULATION SCENARIOS

arrangements. The modern logistics simulation game ILMG (International Logistics Management Game) developed by Robert W. Grubbström (Grubbström, Bikovska, 2004) is a business simulation game that simulates a number of companies competing with different products in different markets. The paper presents advanced ILMG features related to development of the game simulation scenarios and learning arrangements. Some advantages and shortcomings as well as the most preferable application areas and circumstances under which game could be used are analysed as well. The game allows participants to become managers of the virtual company and to try out the consequences of various logistics decisions and to explore their links to other core (marketing, financial, etc.) decisions. Game manager or/and an educational course leader needs to create a simulation scenario and provide correspondent learning arrangement according to the course goals and its participants ’ academic background.
