Working Capital Simulation: Managing Growth Acting as the CEO at a retailer and distributor of nutraceuticals, students choose to invest in growth and cash-flow improvement opportunities. Each opportunity has a unique financial profile and students must analyze the effects on working capital. |
Microworlds (business simulations to accompany a case study), provide risk free learning environments for executives and students to experience issues in strategy or general management.
Our Microworlds are all concerned with business strategy and help develop understanding of dynamic business performance over time.
These games are developed in-house and are used in top MBA and executive courses at leading business schools. The simpler games provide sufficient teaching material for a half day class although shorter or longer class durations are possible. Our more complex Microworlds provide a full days teaching but have been used for periods ranging from under one hour up to two and a half days.
Management Simulations
Role-playing games provide real-world lessons
MIT
Sloan has long been a pioneer among business schools when it comes to action learning—creating
real-world applications of classroom knowledge. Management flight simulations
are the latest such application. These innovative and interactive tools create a
virtual world in which students explore and participate in the critical
management issues facing a range of industries and
organizations.
Management flight simulations bring an experiential aspect
to learning about complex systems. This type of action learning has more impact
on students than simply listening to a lecture or engaging in a case study
discussion. Students who participate in a simulation can see the immediate
consequences of their decisions and learn what it’s truly like to juggle
competing priorities amidst a constant influx of information.
Each
management simulation offers video user guides and online instructions for
students. Registered educators can access video teaching notes and slides that
introduce and debrief all aspects of the simulation.
