Global Strategy simulation, Corporation, provides an environment for students to apply strategy concepts they encounter in your course and to integrate the knowledge gained in earlier business courses.
Corporation has multiple key objectives:
Students take over and run a multi-unit corporation in the dynamic information systems industry, with the opportunity to expand into international markets. Groups of students operate one or more strategic business units that can be bought and sold on the open market, or swapped in privately negotiated deals with other teams in class. Each period, operations, marketing, and HR decisions are made for each business unit, while acquisition and financing decisions are made at the corporate level. Corporation gives students the opportunity to design, implement, and refine their strategy in a global context where the environment and competition are always changing.
