Gamification for Sustainable Management Education: Prosper Management Edition's Role in South Africa's Climate Policy Engagement

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The escalating climate crisis necessitates inventive strategies to engage diverse stakeholders in sustainable management and policy-making, particularly in regions like South Africa. "Prosper Management Edition," developed under the GREAT project, leverages gamification to foster communication between future corporate leaders, citizens, and policy stakeholders. This educational game connects sustainability principles with their practical application in management and policy, focusing on the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into business operations. This paper presents the initial design stages, implementation strategy, expected outcomes, and theoretical underpinnings of the game, aiming to enhance participants' awareness of sustainability and strategic thinking.
