Simulators

Our simulators

CompanyGame has a wide range of Simulators, each one with its different versions and game modes. Simulators are continually reviewed and improved as new projects are developed.

What is a simulator?

CompanyGame business simulators allow you to put into practice and consolidate knowledge in different areas, in addition to developing and enhancing business management skills, in an environment that simulates reality.

Different sections

Each simulator focuses on a sector or industry (textile, food, beverages, technology, banking, services, hotels, consumer goods).

This will have an added value for the user, seeing himself immersed in the problems of the sector (profiles of potential clients, product characteristics, promotion opportunities) that will allow him to understand his own dynamics.

7 levels

Difficulty level ranges from 1 (beginning) to 7 (very advanced). Some simulators have different versions varying the level of difficulty.

The initial level is designed for first-year university students (also final years of high school) and level 7 for final-year university students (also master's degrees).

Modalities

The implementation mode has 2 characteristics. From here you can get 4 possible combinations to play. The recommended modality is presented according to its characteristics.

"Competitive or non-competitive": they will compete against each other or against the machine. "Individual or in teams": they will work alone or together with their peers.

Duration time

The duration of the complete simulation exercise will depend on the form or dynamics of implementation that is established depending on the complementary activities that are to be incorporated.

Maximum and minimum times are presented that are intended to be of orientation aid for planning.

For the implementation of our simulators, we suggest you contact our advisors who can help you in the selection.
