Abstract:
Education Service Providers (ESP) are facing several challenges nowadays. They are under pressure on cost, to perform, and to innovate while meeting the different demands and requirements of their community. In Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) education, Business Simulation Games (BSG) are a promising approach, but they are not used extensively yet for various reasons. With the development of a BSG as a Service concept, in which mass-customized games can be created according to the individual educators’ needs, the attempt is to address the tension field of different demands. This provides opportunities for low-threshold, user-friendly, and tailored use. The paper at hand describes a generalizable concept idea by using an exemplary SAP-based use case. Modularization and recombination are probably the most important aspects of sustainable and adaptive ERP education for both meeting the different requirements of educators and making the challenges for ESPs manageable.
