“…For several decades, scholars used business games to investigate the accuracy of managerial decisions and their application through an analysis of the performances made by the participants of their experiments (Lainema and Makkonen 2003;Faria et al 2009;Kim et al 2013;Henriksen and Børgesen 2016;Korchinskaya et al 2020). In this section, the simulation game 'General Management Business Game (GMBG)' (provided by Artémat) is briefly explained, which was used during the lectures of a general management course in one large Italian University, for training students in the management of firms as well as for doing this research.…”

The personal trait called Core Self-Evaluations (CSE) has been receiving increasing attention from behavioral strategy scholars due to its ability to predict job performance and to explain some facets of decision-making processes. However, despite previous studies hypothesizing that managers with high values of CSE are intuitive thinkers, beyond any doubt of their capacities and that they significantly lead to positive results for their organization, no one has empirically investigated these assumptions. This gap can be substantiated by the following research question: “How do high Core Self-Evaluations influence team decision-making processes?”. Answering it provides insights on how the evaluations that decision makers make about situations (and the consequent actions that are implemented) highly depend on decision makers’ inner traits and their effect on cognition. To fill this gap, 120 graduate students—divided into groups of four—took part in a simulation game and were asked to make decisions acting the role of General Manager of a small-sized manufacturing firm. Tests aimed at identifying the CSE and intuitive/reflecting thinking approach of participants were administered; moreover, the performance resulting from their decision-making processes and their estimation of reached results were collected. Results show that an average level of CSE is preferable to balance intuitive and reflective thinking, as well as avoiding overconfidence bias and reaching the best performance possible. This work suggests that there is a huge misattribution in considering a high level of CSE as being beneficial for decision-making processes and consequent performance.

“…The best way to seek knowledge of LLL must be in the informal or non-formal learning process (Ismail et al, 2015). It is because, the individual in non-formal learning can focuses on one type of educational activity and can engage in his discussion and activity (Henriksen & Børgesen, 2016). While informal learning appears in an individual's experiences which learning the knowledge can be understood easily (Gorard, Fevre & Rees, 1999;Henriksen & Børgesen, 2016).…”

Since 19th Century, Brunei Darussalam has conducted Islamic Lifelong Learning formally and non-formally which has been referred to as the Adult Religious Class. The class is offered to mature students who had never attended or finished their formal religious education. The modules taught are mostly focused on al-Quran literacy skills and basic Islamic studies. Although these classes have been practiced for a long time, the term Islamic Lifelong Learning is still an uncommon term in the sultanate. Hence, this study proposes to explore and discover the term “Islamic Lifelong Learning” in the context of Brunei Darussalam. The study is based on documents review and analysis from past researchers and official websites. Furthermore, the findings have suggested that various classes have been established in Lifelong Learning which can be known as “Islamic Lifelong Learning”. Thus, the paper concludes that Islamic Lifelong Learning is a part of an ongoing learning in Brunei Darussalam which has been implemented and conducted either in mosques, balais, universities or institutes with particular Islamic modules consists of ‘Aqīdah, Sharī‘ah and Akhlāq.

“…While this game contributes to extend the learners' competences [6], it lacks a corresponding digital image of the SG. However, studies related to other settings found that SGs contribute to a good learning result [14,15], which can especially be gained through the use of interaction platforms [16]. Exemplary cases for the implementation of a simulation game platform are already available for the BPM area [17] but not yet designed for the area of eGovernment and not recognizing the possibility to evaluate the current competences of partaking learners via application of competence mining [18][19][20].…”

In a world of ever-rising political, social, and economic uncertainty digitalization appears to be one of the few constants. Public administrationsoften perceived as the stronghold of traditionalism and bureaucracy-are facing increased pressure to provide digital services. The dire need for managers and clerks with corresponding eGovernment competences paved the way for new study programs and training courses. As some competences are hard to convey via frontal teaching, innovative concepts such as simulation games are gaining popularity. However, we posit that teaching eGovernment competences with pen and paper alone appears to be an almost ironic reference to current administrative working patterns. Hence, this paper sets forth to present a concept and implementation for an online platform to support various eGovernment simulation games. We also plan to use the game data to gain further insights into the proficiency profiles of participants to derive optimized simulation scenarios.
