The simulation offers the opportunity to run a single store or a chain of retail outlets on and a local or national level. <br> <br> <i>Retailer&nbsp;</i> is unique in that it is based on real economic figures and cultural and social data. The simulation also provides the opportunity to tailor the environment to specific markets by allowing the tutors to input their own market data. It also includes random events and legislation to reflect the real business world. <br> <br> <i>Retailer&nbsp;</i> can also be run remotely via the internet and adapted to work on most computer systems. We are committed to customer care and so there is always an experienced member of our team available on our 24 hour support line. <br> <br> <i>Retailer&nbsp;</i> has been used effectively for individual learning and for team learning with teams competing against the background market and against each other. The business simulation is used for students on management and business programmes, the development of business and management skills in all sectors of retail, as well as for entrepreneurs starting up or running a small retail business. <br> <br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#000000"> For more information </font> <a class="button" href="../contact/contact.html">&nbsp;</a> <br> <br> <br> </td> <td width="50"> &nbsp; </td> <td class="sidebar"><p align="left"> Some of our clients: <br> <br> <a class="normal" href="../about/clients.html"><img alt="Some of our clients" src="../imgs/company_logos.jpg" width="165" height="378"></a> </p></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> <table> <tbody><tr> <td class="testimonials"> <font size="3"><b>Benefits of <i>Retailer&nbsp;</i></b></font> <br> <br> <font color="#660000"><b>Flexible:</b></font> <br> Appropriate for small and large organisations in all business sectors and students from school to graduate level.
