Building strategic supplier collaboration through gaming

چکیده
Strategic supplier collaborations in inter-organizational environments have shown increasingly important. When building a strategic collaboration, such as It-implementations, difficult issues come to surface e.g. human and technical difficulties. The focus of this article is a game developed to visualize these human factors to students with a theoretical and practical background, and by this the students will be equipped to plan and handle such a process in reality. The game is developed as a participating role game and based on an empirical documented case. The article has a practical focus/contribution and therefore the case is described and discussed in detail.
