THE <i>EXECUTIVE&nbsp;</i> BUSINESS SIMULATION
</font>
<br>
<br>
<i>Executive&nbsp;</i> is a web-based business simulation that models the Western European Car Industry. It allows teams to run competing companies in an interactive and challenging market.
<br>
<br>
<font color="#660000">Features of <i>Executive&nbsp;</i>:</font>
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • <i>Executive&nbsp;</i> can be run both online and
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; on local machines
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • <i>Executive&nbsp;</i> uses real current market
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  data
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •  Competition exists between teams and 
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; against the simulated ‘background
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  marketplace’
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •  The simulation can be customised by 
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; adding any combination of Finance,
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  Marketing and Operations modules
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •  The level of difficulty can be altered to
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  make <i>Executive&nbsp;</i> suitable for any
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  application
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •  <i>Executive&nbsp;</i> contains the unique 
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ‘What-If’ testing system, which allows
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  participants to try out their ideas on the
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  background market
<br><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •  Complete company reports are 
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; produced at the end of each round to
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  allow players to analyse the impact of 
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; their decisions and take actions for
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  continuous improvement.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Executive&nbsp;</i> is one of the most established business simulations in the world and 
it has been used by thousands of corporate and academic clients for a huge variety of purposes.

<br>
<br>
<font color="#660000"><b>Realistic:</b></font>

It brings life to the traditional techniques of lectures and case studies allowing participants to make real decisions about managing a business successfully in a competitive market.
<br>
<br>
<font color="#660000"><b>Relevant:</b></font>  
<br>
Participants learn to make quality decisions as the choices made directly affect the performance of the company. These skills are easily transferred back to the everyday workplace.
<br>
<br>
<font color="#660000"><b>Memorable:</b></font> 
<br>
 The exciting reality of the subject means that participants become very involved and experience the consequences of their decisions. They work on the stimulating task on building a successful business in a condensed period of time.
<br>
<br>
<font color="#660000"><b>Effective:</b></font> 
<br> 
Its practical approach means that issues are tackled in a risk-free environment and in a challenging and rewarding manner. This results in personal as well as team development, which can increase individuals' value to their organisation.
<br>
<br>
<font color="#660000"><b>Easy to Use:</b></font>  
<br>
The software is very easy to use despite the complexity of its internal structure. The power of the computer is used to produce detailed, well presented information from a comprehensive set of management decisions.
