Storyline

In the Integrated Business Management simulation, your students are provided with the seed capital to start up their business. They build a production facility, open stores, hire workers, design brands and advertising campaigns. They will deal with demand projections, production scheduling and quality control issues. After the first simulated year in business, your students’ firms can receive additional funding from the Venture Capitalists. They can invest this money in new R&D, bring out improved products, expand their distribution and production capacity in order to maximize their performance in the second year of business. This simulation is available in two product storylines, 3D-printed bikes or our classic personal computers scenario.
