Business Simulations - Entrepreneur

A Small Company "Start Up" Business Game. An ideal individual or group learning tool, Entrepreneur provides the opportunity to start up a small company in the specialist car market. It gives practical experience in setting up the business and then running it. From the results, participants identify areas of strength and weakness in their decision making and have to quickly improve their management skills if they are to succeed. Achieving profitability in a niche market is not an easy task and participants quickly become absorbed in the challenge. To add to the scope of the simulations, suites of modules are available, covering a range of business scenarios.

What is Entrepreneur?
Entrepreneur is a computer based business simulation that allows you to start up a "real" company from scratch. The simulation, based on the low volume, hand made car industry creates a realistic business environment in which learning takes place.

Why Entrepreneur?
All the facts and figures that Entrepreneur uses to create a market environment are based on "real" market information. This makes Entrepreneur unique and means that it can provide realistic and effective training that isn't available anywhere else. Entrepreneur also addresses all the key business areas including finance, production and marketing.

How will I benefit from using Entrepreneur?

Realistic: It allows participants to make real decisions about starting and managing a business successfully in a competitive market.

Relevant: Participants learn to make quality decisions as the choices made directly affect the performance of the company. These are then easily transferred back to the everyday workplace.

Memorable: The exciting reality of the subjects means that participants become very involved and experience the consequences of their decisions. They work on the stimulating task of building a successful business in a condensed period of time.

Effective: Its practical approach means that issues are tackled in a risk-free environment in a challenging and rewarding manner. This results in personal and team development, which increases individuals' value to their organisation.

Easy to Use: 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.
