ACT AS A (R): COULD THE STRUCTURE BEAT THE PITFALLS?

This contribution proposes a modification of a managerial game, Act As A, by introducing elements of project management, which is used within the Entrepreneurial Skills course at the Faculty of Economics and Management, CULS Prague. In the original version of the game, deficiencies in communication of players were observed that were reflected in the lack of analysis of the selected project from the perspective of the fundamental project limitations in terms of time, cost, performance/scope, as well as in the lack of attention paid to the selection of the project team. For this reason, the game was developed by introducing further gaming elements in the form of four playing cards, which should help structure better the communication in order for it to follow all kinds of basic constraints of the project. To create additional gaming elements, Project Management Triangle, Triple C Model, and 5-M Method were used.
