The Development of an Internet Management Game to Have a Virtual Experience of Venture Business

近年来，风险投资越来越受到人们的重视，不仅为经济增长做出了贡献，而且被认为是经济增长的主要动力。然而，目前日本的情况使得风险投资业务还没有完全开花结果。现在，现任作者希望介绍一种新的管理游戏，它可以在互联网上运行，因此可以在Web浏览器上每天24小时访问。我开发的这款游戏可以让用户虚拟体验创业，体验自己创业的乐趣，了解和培养创业精神。这就是这个虚拟游戏的目的。系统需求由服务器（如Web服务器、Java应用服务器和数据服务器）和客户端（如Web浏览器）组成。这款游戏的全部内容如下：玩家扮演个人电脑商店的经理，负责制定有关库存和销售的决策。几个玩家可以实时在线参与并争夺领先地位，销售所有者获得的利润越高，他在游戏结束时获得的分数就越高。在6个月的时间里，每个月都会做出决定，系统会自动关闭每个月的账簿，并显示结果。库存将由服务器上的递进进程执行，而购买将由服务器上的客户端代理进程处理。本系统旨在让用户（学生）在玩游戏的同时，对管理有更多的了解，并培养他们的分析和决策能力。这将提高他们未来创业的意识水平。

Recently venture business has been taken more and more notice of and has been contributing to economic growth but also has been expected to be a primary economic growth engine. However, the current Japanese situations such that venture business has not fully blossomed. Now, the current author wishes to introduce a new management game which runs on the Internet, and is thus accessible for 24 hours a day on a Web browser. The game which I have developed makes it possible for a user to have a virtual experience of venture business, where he or she can enjoy starting a business by him-/herself and come to understand and develop the business spirit. That is the object of this virtual game. The system requirements are composed of servers such as Webservers, Java application servers and data servers, and of clients like a Web browser.What this game is all about: follows as : a player acts as manager of a personal computer outlet, being responsible for decision making regarding stocking and selling. Several players can participate in real time on-line and contend for the lead, and the higher the profit a sales owner earns, the higher score he earns at the end of the game. Decisions are made every month for six months and the system will automatically close the books every month and show the results. Stocking of goods will be performed by the progressive process on the server while purchases will be dealt with by the client agent process on the server.This system is intended to make users (students) have more knowledge of management while they enjoy game-plying, and also develop their analyzing and decision-making proficiency. This will raise their consciousness level regarding starting a new business in the future.
