TOPSIM bachelor simulation game: General Management II
Decide for your own company:
- Do I prefer offering higher quality or lower prices?
- Do I invest in the training of my employees or in the optimization of my business processes?
- Do I focus on my home market or do I pursue an internationalization strategy?
The challenges of the simulation game:
- Tight schedule
- Challenging, both mentally and socially
- Keep track of everything (interactions between different business divisions)
- Close cooperation in a team that is new for you
Your experience after the simulation game:
- Knowledge about the interrelations between different business divisions, which you know
from the lectures
- Teamwork under time pressure
- Practicing how to give presentations in a business context
