Simulation and gaming have emerged as promising tools in the context of crisis management, providing dynamic environments for education and research. In 1997, the Journal of Contingencies
and Crisis Management devoted a special issue to simulation and gaming; this article reviews developments in crisis management simulation and gaming published in the journal since. Following the framework used in Faria et. al’s (2009) review of simulation and gaming in the business context, this article is structured to provide a brief history of crisis management simulations and games, and the changing technology employed in their development and use. Further, the changes in why they are used and the current state of crisis management simulation and gaming are also discussed. Finally, research gaps and areas for future research are proposed.

The role of interorganizational relationships (IORs) in public sector innovation is little explored in the literature. Notwithstanding a growing body of research on how innovation is achieved through strategic alliances and collaborative networks (Belussi and Arcangeli 1998), communities of practice (Wenger 2000), innovation systems (Lundvall 1985; Freeman 1995), industrial sector clusters (Crouch and Voelzkow 2009) or open innovation with members of society (Chesborough 2003), much of the discussion remains conceptually elusive and private sector oriented. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to clarify the relationship between IORs and public sector innovation, contributing to the lively discussion on collaborative innovation in this domain (Bommert 2010; Sørensen and Torfing 2011).
