Since its inception, video and computer game technologies have greatly influenced the entertainment world. However, this medium's impact has had a wide spread impact overall, even reaching the business sector. “Executive Challenge,” a new computer simulation program from Enspire Learning, showcases an increasingly popular use for game technologies – education and training. The multiplayer game puts players in unique management roles within a simulated company. Faced with difficult choices and real-world business decisions, the player balances company objectives with personal goals.
