For the first time, MBA students and professionals have a risk-free platform for testing theories and decision-making skills. From competitive forces to the effects of sales, distribution, R&D and advertising, every aspect is real. Teams get their results at once, and use it to refine their decisions over time. Nothing else provides such immediate feedback.

Working in groups of three to six participants, each team competes against each other to successfully pilot their industrial company over a multi-year period. The name of the game isn’t just tactics, but long-term strategy. Because decisions are made over a six-to-twelve year period, teams are forced to not only plan for short-term profits, but long-term objectives.

Since each team’s actions directly influence the market, competitive analysis is a must. Competitor actions and reactions, new product launches, sales and distribution strategies all define how teams manage their own product portfolio, R&D projects, positioning, pricing and distribution channels.

The competition is real, but so is the teamwork. Participants not only learn from the simulation, but from each other, keeping the level of enthusiasm high.

From the instructor’s perspective, integrating and administrating the simulation couldn’t be easier. We’ll even provide online instructor training that ensures total confidence in two short hours. Find out what Markstrat Online covers. Then contact us to put Markstrat Online to work for you.
