5 of 5: Introduction to Operating a Business
Pulling it all together – just what does it actually mean to operate a business? This last simulation of our new series enables students to run their own business. As with any businesses, internal and external influencers are given to students, requiring them to test their growth strategy but also deal with anticipated and unexpected market changes.
This session is designed to provide business and commercial acumen AND will quickly build student networks and break down barriers to form cohesive teams. Using recognised gamification techniques this is delivered through exciting, fun and interactive sessions; which draws out the competitive spirit, proven each time the winning team is announced upon completion of the session.
Course leaders enjoy the fully flexible delivery options too; having the options to utilise our professional facilitators or set up the simulations internally through designated faculty. The simulations can be run in cohorts from 15 to 500 students divided into teams of 5 to 6, offering great scalability.
In summary this fun, engaging way gives students a broad knowledge of how a business operates. They learn to begin to apply the theory to the actual business of running an organisation. Students start to really understand the value of Team building and developing student networks.
