@article{KrizAuchter, author = {Kriz, Willy C. and Auchter, Eberhard}, title = {10 Years of Evaluation Research Into Gaming Simulation for German Entrepreneurship and a New Study on Its Long-Term Effects}, series = {Simulation \& Gaming}, volume = {47}, journal = {Simulation \& Gaming}, number = {2}, publisher = {Sage}, doi = {10.1177/1046878116633972}, pages = {179 -- 205}, abstract = {Background: Over the past ten years, we carried out several comprehensive studies in the area of entrepreneurship education using business games that simulate the business processes of startups. The studies researched the learning effects of these games on German university students. Aim: The studies we present investigated if the simulation game-based educational entrepreneurship programs in Germany reached their goals. These goals included the fostering of participants' entrepreneurial competencies and desire to create a startup. Method: We show traditional summative output-oriented results and more profound results based on our theory-based evaluation approach. A so-called logic model provides a framework for the interpretation of what takes place during the entrepreneurship business simulations. Currently, we have conducted research on more than 50 regular university courses with more than 1000 students. Another part of our studies is the evaluation of entrepreneurship education in the German national business game-based competition, EXIST priME Cup (further called EPC). More than 12,000 students attended more than 500 of these cup seminars. We also show new results from an online survey that was carried out to measure the long-term effects of the startup simulation-based seminars. Results: The results of five studies are summarized, and show an overall increase in the participants' knowledge of business administration and business plan preparation skills (required in start-up context). Apart from other results, significant gender-based differences are identified. The differences relate to entrepreneurial attitudes and motivation. Some test scenarios with cup seminars for women only with extended debriefing seem to reduce this decrease in the motivation of women; further research with larger samples is necessary. A new study on the long-term effects shows a very high acceptance rate and demonstrates the satisfaction of former students. The simulation game-based program resulted in participants starting startups at a rate that is approximately twice as high (around 16\%) as the normal rate in Germany.}, language = {en} } @misc{ScharfenbergMottokArtmannetal., author = {Scharfenberg, Georg and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Artmann, Christina and Hobelsberger, Martin and Paric, Ivan and Großmann, Benjamin and Pohlt, Clemens and Wackerbarth, Alena and Pausch, Uli and Heidrich, Christiane and Fadanelli, Martin and Elsner, Michael and P{\"o}cher, Daniel and Pittroff, Lenz and Beer, Stefan and Br{\"u}ckl, Oliver and Haslbeck, Matthias and Sterner, Michael and Thema, Martin and Muggenthaler, Nicole and Lenck, Thorsten and G{\"o}tz, Philipp and Eckert, Fabian and Deubzer, Michael and Stingl, Armin and Simsek, Erol and Kr{\"a}mer, Stefan and Großmann, Benjamin and Schlegl, Thomas and Niedersteiner, Sascha and Berlehner, Thomas and Joblin, Mitchell and Mauerer, Wolfgang and Apel, Sven and Siegmund, Janet and Riehle, Dirk and Weber, Joachim and Palm, Christoph and Zobel, Martin and Al-Falouji, Ghassan and Prestel, Dietmar and Scharfenberg, Georg and Mandl, Roland and Deinzer, Arnulf and Halang, W. and Margraf-Stiksrud, Jutta and Sick, Bernhard and Deinzer, Renate and Scherzinger, Stefanie and Klettke, Meike and St{\"o}rl, Uta and Wiech, Katharina and Kubata, Christoph and Sindersberger, Dirk and Monkman, Gareth J. and Dollinger, Markus and Dembianny, Sven and K{\"o}lbl, Andreas and Welker, Franz and Meier, Matthias and Thumann, Philipp and Swidergal, Krzysztof and Wagner, Marcus and Haug, Sonja and Vernim, Matthias and Seidenst{\"u}cker, Barbara and Weber, Karsten and Arsan, Christian and Schone, Reinhold and M{\"u}nder, Johannes and Schroll-Decker, Irmgard and Dillinger, Andrea Elisabeth and Fuchshofer, Rudolf and Monkman, Gareth J. and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Geith, Markus A. and Koch, Fabian and {\"U}hlin, Christian and Schratzenstaller, Thomas and Saßmannshausen, Sean Patrick and Auchter, Eberhard and Kriz, Willy and Springer, Othmar and Thumann, Maria and Kusterle, Wolfgang and Obermeier, Andreas and Udalzow, Anton and Schmailzl, Anton and Hierl, Stefan and Langer, Christoph and Schreiner, Rupert}, title = {Forschungsbericht / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, editor = {Baier, Wolfgang}, address = {Regensburg}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, isbn = {978-3-00-048589-3}, doi = {10.35096/othr/pub-1386}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-13867}, language = {de} } @misc{RueckBierlLechneretal., author = {R{\"u}ck, Thomas and Bierl, Rudolf and Lechner, Alfred and Graf, Antonia and Dams, Florian and Schreiner, Rupert and Auchter, Eberhard and Kriz, Willy and Deubzer, MIchael and Schiller, Frank and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Niemetz, Michael and Margull, Ulrich and Hagel, Georg and Utesch, Matthias and Waldherr, Franz and B{\"o}hm, Matthias and Fraunhoffer, Judith and Gardeia, Armin and Schneider, Ralph and Streubel, Janet and Landes, Dieter and Studt, Reimer and Peuker, Dominik and Scharfenberg, Georg and Hook, Christian and Schuster, Dietwald and Ehrlich, Ingo and Dinnebier, Heinrich and Briem, Ulrich and L{\"a}mmlein, Stephan and Koder, Alexander and Bialek, Adam and Genewsky, Axel and Neumeier, Michael and Schlosser, Philipp and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Paule, Matthias and Galster, Christoph and Schiedermeier, Michael and Zwickel, Andreas and Hobmeier, Christoph and Bischoff, Tobias and Rill, Georg and Schaeffer, Thomas and Arbesmeier, Martin and Groß, Andreas and Schlegl, Thomas and Becker, Mark and Senn, Konrad and Schliekmann, Claus and Scholz, Peter and Sippl, Christian and Grill, Martin}, title = {Forschungsbericht 2011 / Hochschule f{\"u}r Angewandte Wissenschaften - Fachhochschule Regensburg}, editor = {Eckstein, Josef}, address = {Regensburg}, organization = {Hochschule f{\"u}r Angewandte Wissenschaften Regensburg}, issn = {1868-3533}, doi = {10.35096/othr/pub-732}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-7321}, language = {de} }
