Main themes

 

- The seminar takes the form of a strategic management simulation, in the context of which groups of students (4 to 5 in each), each running a business, compete on one or two markets.  The simulation focuses on the strategic aspects of running a business.

- After having presented the working environment (the Markstrat Online simulator), the seminar sessions are organised around strategic decision-making and debriefing sessions with the teachers supervising the simulation. At the end of each session, students are asked to produce a short interim report on the group's strategy and the implementation of this strategy. The seminar ends with a more consistent report from each group on the strategic analysis of the markets in which companies operate, changes to strategies and the relative performance of competing companies.

 

Aims
