Resumo

As simulações empresariais são estratégicas aplicadas na educação gerencial para a sustentabilidade, proporcionando aos estudantes de graduação uma experiência prática no enfrentamento dos desafios dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Apesar dos avanços, ainda existe uma lacuna na oferta de experiências de aprendizado científico suficientes no nível de graduação. Este estudo explora como as simulações empresariais podem servir como uma ponte entre a prática gerencial e o aprendizado científico. Utilizando pesquisa-ação, os estudantes assumiram papéis como gestores responsáveis dentro das simulações. Sob orientação, identificaram dilemas organizacionais vinculados aos ODS, coletaram dados, aplicaram quadros teóricos e avaliaram os resultados. Esse processo transformou conceitos estáticos em aplicado nas áreas funcionais, com ênfase na responsabilidade e na sustentabilidade. Após as simulações, os estudantes sintetizaram os insights em artigos científicos para aprimorar o raciocínio analítico e a Investigation acadêmica. A contribuição teórica deste estudo reside na demonstração de como as simulações empresariais funcionam como uma ferramenta pedagógica que integra o aprendizado experiencial com a Investigation científica. Ao posicionar os estudantes como pesquisadores ativos, em vez de aprendizes passivos, destaca-se o potencial das simulações para aprimorar o pensamento crítico e a resolução de problemas, enquanto incorpora o raciocínio científico na educação empresarial para enfrentar os desafios dos ODS de forma eficaz.
