HOW IT WORKS

Bring Business Learning to Life

Business simulations prepare learners to make strategic business decisions – considering market conditions, competitive intelligence, cross-functional impacts, and company financial health.

1. Analyze

Participants use several reports to analyze market trends, competing products, customer buying patterns, and key financial metrics.

 

2. Formulate

Participants use their analysis to formulate a strategy to win market share and beat the competition.

 

3. Execute

Participants execute their strategy by making key decisions across the functional areas of a business: R&D, Marketing, Production, and Finance.
