Business simulations for higher education
Students usually have to wait until their first job to get hands-on training, which is a costly way to practice and learn.
We bring the business world straight to your students and provide them with the most realistic business simulations ever designed. Our simulations mirror the competitive landscape to the last detail, from actual market conditions to changing market forces. Students make decisions and see their results and consequences at once. Nothing else translates ideas into results as quickly or accurately.
Whether your students are undergraduates, Masters or MBA candidates, we have the perfect business simulation for your teaching needs.
