What is a Business Game
The Business Game is a business management simulation system presented in the form of an interactive game. Each of the teams is entrusted with the management of a company and its players are called to make decisions within the various functional areas (Sales / Production / Purchasing / R & D / Quality / HR).
The decisions of the players / managers are processed by software to determine the economic and financial performance of each company. After each game period, each team can control the impact of their decisions using a directional dashboard containing all the necessary KPIs. The complexity of the game progressively increases period after period, as well as the variables and contingencies to be faced and resolved.
There is also a real competition between the teams: the performances of each period in fact generate a score and therefore a ranking.
