Source of the "Beer Game"

[saeed@ait.ac.th (Khalid Saeed)]

As a regular user of the game in Asia, I am delighted to finally learn the
closely guarded secret about its creater. Now I can tell my students about
its origin.

I would like to recall that in the 1993 International System Dynamics
Conference in Cancun,
we held a session on the Beer Game. Several papers were presented there
which might
add something to the history of the Beer Game, specially to different
approaches to its
use and analysis. There I presented a paper on NEW BARRELS FOR OLD BEER:
THE BEER GAME AS A LEARNING ORGANIZATION.
