Os benefícios do poker para o desenvolvimento de competências gerenciais na Engenharia de Produção.

Abstract

Poker offers a simulation environment that reflects complex situations encountered in production engineering. Practicing poker can contribute to the development of fundamental skills for production engineers, including the ability to evaluate information, make decisions under pressure, manage resources efficiently and anticipate future scenarios. Production engineers can use poker as a learning and professional improvement tool, recognizing management and decision-making principles that can be applied in their daily activities. The present work aimed to verify the influence of poker on the daily lives of production engineers. In view of the above, we opted for a bibliographical review with a qualitative nature. 10 were selected between the period 2015 and 2023 with the aim of identifying the relationship between poker player profiles and improved decision-making. Therefore, Poker offers contributions to the decision-making of production engineers, in which it is a great ally for learning negotiation, especially in administrative terms. We observed how poker offers unique opportunities for improving various management skills, especially in relation to administrative techniques. From decision-making under pressure to risk analysis and strategic management of limited resources, poker participants are exposed to scenarios analogous to those they may encounter in their future careers in Production Engineering. Poker opens up several paths for day-to-day business management, thus proving to be of great influence on the manager's daily life. Furthermore, exploring the benefits of poker in relation to decision making, relating them to the development of managerial skills in Production Engineering is of paramount importance.
