Abstract
This work aims at presenting and analyzing the use of Enterprise Resource Planning Simulation Game software as a success case of the application of the Problem-Based Learning strategy classes in business management. Problem-Based Learning is a strategy focused on the process of self - learning through problem solving. The ERP Simulation Game is a simulation software market, developed by HEC Montréal. To achieve the desired educational goals, it was necessary to define a methodology for me - use software, which include all the essential characteristics of Problem-Based Learning. It was observed during the application of the methodology to use software that increases the level of involvement and pursuit of knowledge by students, motivated by competition that the software provides.
