Simulations for Schools & Universities Our main range of simulations are especially designed and calibrated for use for management development. However, we have several especially modified and sponsored simulations for use in schools and universities.

For schools and universities we have:

• The Challenge Series
• Souper Hot Series

additionally there is the

• Beat the Boss & Castaway Series

The Souper Hot Series

These are short simulations lasting two to three hour simulations that involve teams of four or five students using their own PCs to investigate business concepts. The series is based on special, sponsored versions of our Concepts Series.

Souper Hot

This is a special version of Product Launch.

Souper Smooth

This is a special version of Operations.

Souper Hit

This is a special version of Sales Mix.

Beat the Boss & Castaway Series This series of computerised simulations are designed and provided by The Ronald Brech Research & Communications Co. Ltd. complement our range of simulations.

A NEW AND EXCITING APPROACH TO

BUSINESS EDUCATION AND TRAINING

FOR THE THIRD MILLENIUM

With experiential learning --- where you learn by doing --- knowledge is assimilated while you enjoy yourselves. It is caught not taught.

We have business simulations to provide you with active experience to develop and improve your skills and understanding, and thereby increase your confidence. We also have learning topics to handle particular techniques and types of analysis essential for business.

There are two different series of business simulations.

One: where six decision areas (marketing; production; raw material purchasing and delivery; warehousing and delivery of finished goods; investment; manpower) are introduced sequentially. Either, one new decision area is added each year. Or, it is added each half year. This series is known as "Castaway Shirt Company".

Two: where all six decision areas are infroduced in Year 1 of the simulation, but not all in the first quarter. This series is known as the "Beat the BOSS" series.

The importance of the simulatin for business training lies in the fact that it immerses the participants in the decision process, which is the core of business operations. More importantly, the simulation provides experience in taking decisions in conditions of uncertainty - in an environment where certainty does not exist.

We provide a range of business simulations which are graded in terms of complexity and the degree of challenge they present. These are simulations for:

• Company Training

• Business Schools

• Universities

• Colleges

• Sixth forms

• Pre sixth form

All our learning topics are devided into three sections. The "Teach-in" explains the theory and mechanics of the technique or analysis. The "Demonstration" shows how it is used in real life (a series of case studies). The "Working Model" enables you to gain and develop experience and skill un using the technique or analysis, so as to increase your confidence.

Besides Castaway and Beat the BOSS, we have games like Bagatelle (a computerised board game) for up to four people, where progress depends on answering corectly timed questions (currently on mental arithmetic; maths and statistics).
