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.

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.

The most valuable overarching unique experience students get with engaging in StratSimManagement is learning to connect the dots. At the end of each semester, they often express their appreciation for the complexity, inter-connectedness, and dynamism of running a multi-billion-dollar enterprise set in the auto industry. The manner in which varying planning cycles, resource allocations, and demand generation processes intersect is the most challenging, and rewarding aspect of immersing themselves in the simulation.

I find StratSim provides an excellent amount of realism and really pushes students to integrate what they know about various functional areas. Interpretive provides exceptional service and support for Instructors and Students alike.

I have been using an Interpretive Simulation at both the undergraduate and the graduate level at the University of Connecticut for a number of years. I think every semester the students have walked away with knowledge and practical application of the concepts that will serve them well as they pursue their careers. The vast majority of my students have stated that the simulation made their education more real for them and they learned more about how things worked in the “real” world. In many cases, they did not want the simulation to be over. I like the simulation and all it brings to the educational experience of the students.

As always. Customer service at interpretive.com is 100% reliable.

I have seen the difference in my students work as a result of their experience with the simulations and it helps prepare them to manage and balance multiple variables in a real business. The support that Interpretive Simulations provides is excellent as well; and recommend them highly.

The fact that we have been using the game three times a year for decades now shows that we have not been able to find a better alternative. The strong points of the game are that it is very motivational and all in all it seems to reward the best performing teams. Furthermore, the support of the company is perfect: answers are always provided within a working day.

Herman Wassens, Stenden University

We have used HRManagement for a number of years now, and we are consistently impressed with both the depth of the simulation as well as the support received. The simulation provides our students with realistic decisions to be made, and, importantly, helps students understand the consequences of their decisions. It is difficult to get the balance right – too simple, and the simulation becomes boring; too complex, and the learning points are lost. This simulation strikes the right balance to make it fun, challenging, rewarding and useful. In addition, we receive wonderful, prompt support from everyone at Interpretive. They listen to our needs, and help both Faculty and students quickly and with a minimum of fuss – exactly what we are looking for.

As a first time adopter of the simulation I could not be more impressed and delighted to receive this tremendous and timely assistance.

Sandra Steen - University of Regina

The simulation worked great for my class as it has for the past 5 years!! I can’t see ever teaching the HRM class without using the Interpretive simulation!

Dean Kent - Lindenwood University

Many of my student commented about not having an opportunity to do a budget on their jobs and others shied away from anything that had to do with numbers. But at the end of the course, students commented that they had a better grasps to budgets and were confident that they can develop, monitor etc. budgets.

I have found the Interpretive Simulation experience to be a catalyst for team members to interact with one another in and out of class. I also believe it has contributed to their social development, which is critical for freshmen, most of whom are on their own for the first time.

Martin Cohen - Pace University

We decided to use BizCafe as a project that we believed would provide the students the opportunity to work in cross-cultural teams and also give them some practical business experience. BizCafe didn't disappoint….The BizCafe game was great because it was very easy to administer and provided a great way to deliver the key concepts of Introduction to Business in a very practical manner.

Lisa Cherivtch - Oakton Community College

The simulation is excellent and is one way I’ve found to pull the importance of cross-functionality in business into every decision. It definitely helps students have a better understanding.

Deborah Finch-University of Massachusetts - Lowell

This is my second semester using this simulation and I have only had positive responses from the students. As a teacher I use it as an emphasis when teaching. Anytime I need help I get a very quick response.

Mollie Andrae - Pensacola State College

This experience, my first, with BizCafe was fantastic and I appreciate all of the support and the quality of your product.
