Abstract

With a growing demand for green products and services, entrepreneurs find themselves with the possibility to capitalize on this demand for environmental business solutions. Hence, skills for shaping ecologically sustainable businesses are needed. By teaching business concepts in an engaging and applicable manner using a serious gaming approach, students can be prepared to become tomorrow's entrepreneurs. Learning objectives were determined by using Bloom's revised taxonomy and implemented in the serious game Bikorama@TUM. In Bikorama@TUM, students manage their own bike rental through the three business phases: survival, growth and expansion. 151 upper vocational students took part in the evaluation focusing on the growth stage. They assessed their knowledge with a pre- and post-test as well as rated the implementation as a whole. The results indicate a substantial improvement in students' knowledge and abilities related to entrepreneurship. Therefore, the serious gaming approach is confirmed as a viable teaching tool.
