What is a business simulation?
​
A business simulation is an experiential learning tool where participants run a virtual business in a simulated environment. The simulation game lets you practice real-world skills in a realistic and risk-free setting that creates an interactive and fun learning experience.
Make decisions in the simulation, like whether you should buy or outsource factories, invest in new products or cost-cutting, and which contracts you want to deliver on.
Make investment choices with the data on market demand and expenses to consider which projects will yield more.
Maintain and control the cash flow and budget of your company. You make decisions on whether to withhold profits, apply for loans, or liquidate assets.
Create short-term strategies to connect the dots between disciplines like accounting, operations and finance.
FBL'22 is a business simulation competition that tests your students’ business skills, but also teamwork and critical thinking - the skills the leaders of tomorrow require.
