Content focus of BIP TOPSIM Business Simulation
As members of an international team, students will make operational and strategic decisions for a given company based on the business information provided and their analysis. Team members will divide the tasks they will perform in the company, i.e., who is the financial director, who is the marketing director, etc., and based on their expertise, they will manage their department and coordinate their decisions with other members of the group. Developing and implementing marketing strategies, building a financial strategy, and using management accounting/planning tools such as cost calculation will be their daily work during the course. Managing and motivating the workforce at an effective level, taking into account production capacities, will complement their managerial tasks.
