Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the research is to develop an educational game to teach sustainable supply chain management which includes environmental, economic, risk resilient aspects. The following results are obtained.
(1) A methodology was developed to convert the environmental and risk resilient values in the supply chain into monetary value and integrate it with the economic value. Next, we developed several games that emphasize each of three aspects and a game to integrate them all.
(2) We confirmed its effectiveness by applying the developed games to domestic graduate school students, international students from Europe, the United States, and Asia, and supply chain managers at enterprises. The results were presented at international conferences and submitted in English journals.
