BUS 695 - BUSINESS SIMULATIONS


Credits: Three
This course is an exciting and challenging business computer simulation in which student teams manage their own simulated companies and compete against each other (and other schools!) as competitors in simulated marketplace. After learning about the simulated marketplace, companies and products, the student teams formulate their company strategy and business plans. The student teams are then responsible for entering annual marketing, production, human resource and financial decisions. Sales and profitability results are reported back to the teams for in-class analysis. An initial practice game of 4 decisions is scheduled for the first class meeting and a set of eight decisions will be completed by the conclusion of the course. The course also uses the business computer simulation to explore the use of Microsoft Excel for business modeling and analysis and introduces concepts of process simulation.
