Abstract

The introduction of new ICT as well as changes in organizational structures generate new requirements in the skills and competencies of involved staff, which needs to be mediated (Hausladen, 2008, EURIDICE 2009b). Additionally, employees need to be aware of possible impacts; to understand how these technologies affects the processes as well as being able to handle any new devices. The past experience of the authors’ research organisation (Windhoff, 2001, Schwesig, 2005, Baalsrud Hauge, 2007), shows that serious games have the potential to support exactly these measures. In this paper, the applicability of serious games is discussed to support the introduction and implementation of the intelligent cargo concept within supply networks under consideration of different stakeholders.
This article discuss the potentials and limitations of using serious games for mediating skills needed for applying advanced ICT concepts in supply networks. It also discusses under which circumstance such games can be used for increasing the awareness and the understanding of the impact these technologies man have on the business processes in supply networks.
