Abstract

Knowledge transfer is the key dimension of a learning organization. Organization that wants to sustain their competitiveness must encourage people not only to learn from each other (sharing) but also to ‘move’ knowledge among those who have interest in it (transferring). This paper proposes to use computer simulation game as an alternative to transfer knowledge. A computer simulation game called FireHazard is developed and tested to selected participants. This paper also discusses on the development and the result obtained from the study. The result shows that FireHazard game able to simulate the real environment and provides experiential learning to players thus managed to transfer knowledge to players.
