You may not know of one of the earliest books on how to design and use these games - Management Games, by Joel Kibbee, Clifford J. Craft and Burt Nanus, Reinhold Publishing company, 1961. It was based on work at Remington Rand UNIVAC Division.
I played one form of this game as a senior at Clarkson College of Technology (now Clarkson University) in 1966. You might try their library (if it still exists) or the Business Department for an admistrators manual.
Another version of this was a Management Block Program at the School of Business at Fresno State College in the mid 1960s. Now C.S.U., Fresno, the program has many Alumni who fondly remember this “game” and the obstacles thrown at various teams complements of a computer that occupied almost a whole floor of the Business Building. One of the earliest and best learning opportunities for Management students and their professors!

This would be a fascinating premise for a LARP!
