What is Entrepreneur?
Welcome to the world of Entrepreneur, a dynamic retail entrepreneurship simulation designed to provide hands-on experience in managing a small retail clothing store. As an instructor, you’ll appreciate the comprehensive coverage of entrepreneurship, retail management, and ethical dimensions of business management that Entrepreneur provides for your students.
In this simulation, your students will form management teams, making crucial business decisions and competing against their peers in a simulated business environment. They’ll learn the value of teamwork and consensus-building as they navigate different opinions and priorities, all within the context of limited resources and a changing business landscape.
Entrepreneur is an engaging, practical, and comprehensive tool for teaching essential business skills. It not only provides students with a taste of the real-world challenges of retail management but also equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the business world. With Entrepreneur, your students can learn by doing, applying theoretical concepts to practical situations, and gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of running a retail business.

Got questions? Find answers!
Which classes is this simulation suitable for?
Entrepreneur is an excellent fit for Entrepreneurship and Retail Management classes. It shines a spotlight on business operations, offering students practical insights into the nuances of daily operational management.
What is the ideal team size for the simulation?
We recommend a team size of 3-4 students for the most enriching simulation experience. Larger teams often face collaboration challenges, while smaller teams might lack the diversity of opinions that sparks valuable discussion and learning.
How does Entrepreneur differ from the BizCafe simulation?
Entrepreneur plunges students into more startup decisions, demanding a deeper dive into financial strategy analysis. The simulation provides a broader range of marketing options and a more dynamic promotion environment than BizCafe. It emulates the typical three-year journey of a startup venture, testing its viability.
What is the duration of the simulation?
The Entrepreneur simulation can extend up to 12 periods, each representing a quarter of a year, allowing students to experience the initial three years of business operations. Students usually require between 45 minutes to an hour per period to make informed decisions.

Entrepreneurship Simulation!
Students love simulations and generally become rather competitive, which enhances everyone’s learning of the materials we cover in class. Additionally, these simulations provide a wonderful counterpoint to students’ exploration of nascent business ideas, which tends to be quite conceptual. Customer support is also very helpful and responsive.
Students overwhelmingly like this simulation. Their enthusiasm was so strong, that this year, I decided to increase the simulation period from six weeks to eight weeks. The support from Interpretive is outstanding. This simulation is one of the most useful tools I have available to me as an instructor.
