Sammanfattning
This report presents a master thesis on the development of a simulation game, in
collaboration with Philips Domestic Appliances. The objective of the thesis was to
develop a simulation game to help train the employees at Philips Domestic appliances
to the new product development process and to help them attain the right
direction and mindset required for the new development process.
Throughout the development process of the simulation game, different methods and
techniques were used to generate and eliminate the concepts. A few concepts made
it to the top. The final concept was developed in detail, and a few iterations of
the game concept were run to make it better. The final concept was called the
"Skyscraper Game", which is based on the idea of developing a product. The game
revolved around a team of 3 to 5 members running the pre-development activities
required to take a few decisions to help a major builder build a Skyscraper. The
thesis resulted in a promising game that still requires a bit more polishing around
the edges, which can be sorted by running a few more iterations of the game.
