Development of a Serious Game for Visualizing the Role of Mission Command in Organizational Capability Enhancement

Abstract

There are many ways to make companies and other organizations stronger. In the military, Mission Command (MC) is very useful. In MC, leaders give tasks to their team members, and the team members understand what the leaders want and act on their own. Usually, people learn MC through experience in the field, but we thought they could learn it better through games. So, we created a serious game that shows how MC affects battle outcomes, using famous battles from the Sengoku period. We developed this game with help from history experts.
