ICS , Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy

[Term 2] Strategy Simulation Week (2008/Term 1&2 (Fall&Winter))

To wrap up the first year, you will be working as part of top management team running a company in StratSim, a web-based, interactive simulation program that extends across multiple business functions, ranging from strategy, to marketing, to operations and human resources, and to accounting and finance. Your team will be competing against other teams in the rapidly changing automobile industry, where customer needs evolve, new products are introduced, and economic environment changes. Teams compete directly against each other, with the results being impacted by how the competitors interact, what new products are introduced, and how the strategic investments are financed.

In this six-day intensive program, you will work as one of the board members of a 3-4 person firm and make a total of 10 rounds of decisions, which is equivalent to 10 simulated years worth of managing your own company. You will also be asked to make two presentations – half-time and final presentations – to reflect on and share your learning with other teams. The tentative schedule is as follows:

The program has been consistently voted by students in the past years as one of the “most memorable” learning experiences at ICS. Offered at the very end of the first year, it provides you with an opportunity to integrate everything you have learned throughout the year and also the very last chance to learn from each other by collaborating and competing with your classmates.

The registration costs $39.95 per student for software licensing and a copy of the StratSim manual. Further specifics will be explained in the information session in Term 2. (You are also encouraged to visit.)
