Business simulations are a form of combative training where participants pit their business skills against those of formidable opponents under the watchful eye of a training coach.
When we study one discipline at a time, we are like a bunch of blind people trying to understand what an elephant is.
Please tell me
what it is?
It’s a snake.
It’s a
tree trunk.
It’s a sheet
of rawhide.
It’s a steel
tube.
With business simulations, you can crawl all over and under the new venture to help you to see and understand the whole thing.
It is an
enterprise!

Business Team
Each team member assumes a tactical area of responsibility:
Marketing // Finance //Distribution
Production // Overall Leadership
Business team receives information on current situation.Current
situation is evaluated, strategy formulated and tactics set in
place.Tactical decisions are fed into the Marketplace Live
simulator, along with decisions of opponents.
Results of decisions are fed back to business team.
The business team can acquire information on what is
happening
in the marketplace: internal operationscustomer reaction to
market decisionscompetitor actionsCurrent situation is
evaluated, strategy formulated, and tactics
14. set in place.Tactical decisions are again fed into the
Marketplace Live simulator.
You and your business partners have decided to enter the
international microcomputer industry. The microcomputer
industry is in its introductory stage of the product life
cycle.Several other international firms are entering the market
at the same time.
Q1: Organize the team, name the company and contract for a
survey of potential customers.
Q2: Analyze market information, establish strategic direction
and set up shop (design brands and set up a sales office and/or
regional web centers and build a factory).
Q4: Study end user feedback, competition, operating
performance, employee morale and financial performance and
make adjustments
in strategy.
Q3: Test-market brands, prices, ad copy, media campaigns,
15. sales staffing and internet tactics. Determine production
schedule for each brand.
Q5: Prepare a one-year business plan. Present business plan
and financial request to venture capitalists and negotiate equity
investment.
Q5 – Q8: Initiate international roll-out campaign.
End of game: Prepare report
to the Board regarding: Second year performance deviations
from plan justification for departures analysis of current
market plan for future
The initial capitalization is $4M which is being invested by the
executive team over the first 4 quarters.The executive team
owns 100% of the company.Forty thousand shares of stock will
be issued to the executive team in exchange for their $4M. The
initial stock value is $100 per share
16. At the end of the first year of business, the executive team will
have the opportunity to request up to $5M from a venture
capitalist.
The venture capitalist will expect an outline of the strategic
plan for the second year in business, including:
target markets // sales channel expansion // R&D
plant expansion // quality improvements, etc.
The bank will extend a line of credit to the executive team equal
to one and a half times the firm's equity position in the previous
quarter.
The bank is highly risk adverse and will call in your loan in part
or whole if your debt capacity declines due to unusual or
extended losses.
Other financial institutions will also buy long-term notes at 2
points over conventional bank loans. The acceptable debt
capacity is two times the firm’s equity position in the previous
quarter.
Long-term debt is for 5 years with little possibility of the
financial institution calling in the note due to short-term swings
in income.
17. The bank is intolerant of poor financial management. If a firm
ends a quarter with a negative cash position, the bank will
contact a loan shark by the name of Guido to obtain an
emergency loan to cover the firm's checking account.
Guido requires repayment in the next quarter
The emergency loan interest rate is a sliding scale which begins
at 10% per quarter and may go as high as 25% per quarter. For
each $100 which Guido places in your checking account, he will
take one share of stock in your firm.
The issuing of stock to Guido causes a dilution of your stock
value and your share of the company.
A firm is technically bankrupt if its cumulative losses exceed its
equity investment. Stated differently, the management has used
up all of the equity of the firm when the negative value of the
retained earnings exceeds the value of the common stock.
