	THE CHALLENGE SERIES Basic business simulations that allow managers to appreciate the operation of a total enterprise, develop business acumen and financial knowledge. They last about a day and covering different industries.
	EXTENDED CHALLENGES Extended versions and slightly longer versions of the Challenge Series focusing on specific learning objectives and industry settings.
	THE STRATEGY SERIES Business simulations for middle to senior management, focusing on business strategy in differing industrial environments.
	THE TACTICAL SERIES Business simulations focusing on the tactical management and control of a total business. So they explore the need to manage and control the internal operation of a business efficiently.
	THE FUNCTIONAL SERIES Business simulations focusing on the issues of a specific functional area (such as sales or production). So, they allow line management from the function to develop and hone their skills as they attempt to managing the functional area effectively and efficiently.
	THE CONCEPTS SERIES Short (two to four hour) business simulations that explore a single business concept.
	PLANNING SIMULATIONS Business simulations that involve the preparation and justification of a plan or budget.
	PROCESS SIMULATIONS These business simulations take you through a business process such as sales forecasting or contract bidding and involve analysing data, predicting and recommending actions.
	ENHANCED NEGOTIATIONS & ROLE PLAYS Computer enhanced role-plays use a computer model to assess the impact of team actions. For negotiations models are used to assess proposals, ensure an adequate focus on money and ensure a WIN-WIN outcome.
