Corporate Responsibility Game
October 25, 2004 - by Ian Bogost

BT (formerly the more descriptive British Telecom, for us KFC folks) has released Better Business Game, a game about managing social and environmental issues in a business. This is interesting in light of our recent collaboration with The Corporation, which also takes up the issue of social responsibility in business. You might also want to check out the Code for Corporate Citizenship (or its UK equivalent the Corporate Responsibility Coalition) for more information on this topic.

This reminds me, does anyone else remember calling (800) 445-5667 from the USA? That's the BT Direct operator line, toll-free stateside. I recall this being a popular target of prank calls.

(thanks to Euan)

Hello Water Cooler contributors/readers -

Have any of you seen a game graphics style that successfully appeals to serious business people? If you have, I would very much like to hear about it.

Thanks,

Nick.
