Our web-based business simulations provide an immersive, real-world, and risk-free environment for learners to put theory into practice.
Immerse learners in a risk-free environment where they operate and grow a multi-million dollar company in a dynamic and competitive market by making strategic, cross-functional business decisions.
HOW IT WORKS
Business simulations prepare learners to make strategic business decisions – considering market conditions, competitive intelligence, cross-functional impacts, and company financial health.
Participants use several reports to analyze market trends, competing products, customer buying patterns, and key financial metrics.
Participants use their analysis to formulate a strategy to win market share and beat the competition.
Participants execute their strategy by making key decisions across the functional areas of a business: R&D, Marketing, Production, and Finance.
