Abstract

Commercial business simulation games (BSGs) have been well developed since 1956, and thus they have been extensively adopted and researched. Faria et al. (2009) published an insightful 40-year review of BSGs. However, the articles of the analysis was only from Simulation and Gaming Journal for answering why BSG was adopted and how it was used. This research used the Web of Science academic online research database and CiteSpace software for additional bibliometrics analyses to demonstrate visually intellectual structures and developments. The present study uses citation analysis to detect and visualize disciplinary distributions, keyword co-word networks and references co-citation networks, as well as highly cited references to demonstrate the use of a science mapping approach to perform the review. Such that the researchers may apply the procedure to the review of a scientific domain of their own interest. And secondly, to identify major areas of research activities concerning science mapping, intellectual milestones in the development of key specialties, evolutionary stages of major specialties involved, and the dynamics of transitions from one specialty to another in business simulation games research from 2002 to 2018.
