Business Simulations, Business Games, Serious Games

Hello World-
This has been talked about quite a bit in the past, but the topic seems to be coming up quite a bit again.

What is the difference between Business Simulations, Business Games, and Serious Games?


In short, very little, but it depends on who you're talking to. Here are some tips:
- Business Simulations- Business Simulations are often used for business strategy topics. As usual, this isn't always the case, but more often than not, a simulation will be used to help work on a business strategy related topic.
- Business Games- Business Games are really a catch all. These solutions can range from the dreaded, 'Catch me as a fall' exercise all the way up through custom business simulations. Unfortunately, this is a very generic term.
- Serious Game- This is the latest craze and most marketable catch phrase. This can be anything from a business game all the way through military simulations. Serious game (or business ramification) is really just a lot more marketable for vendors. People will certainly disagree, but they are probably working to sell a serious game :D.

Short and sweet. As you can tell, there is a lot changing over here (in a very very good way) and thus, we're head down in coding and changes. Change is a great thing!

Have a great day
