Content

Through an online business simulation students run, in the role of new board of directors, a company in a simplified simulated market place. They are as a group in charge of all major business decisions (although in a limited way) during a number of rounds within the business simulation and they compete with the other groups inside the class.   

The assessment of this course will be based on a portfolio, containing mandatory progress/reflection reports regarding played periods of the business simulation, a couple of (CAB1 related) assignments about the business simulation company and an internal project group cooperation and participation analysis report. A group presentation of lessons learned during and cause-effect relations experienced inside the played business simulation will round off this course.
