Business Games

A vast array of decisions must be made to compete in Marketplace. These decisions are patterned after real-world decisions made by new venture firms. Each decision has been limited to its most important dimensions in order to keep the game manageable. Still, there is sufficient complexity and realism to challenge you to the maximum.
The real challenge in the game, and in real-life new ventures, is that you must continually make a large number of concurrent strategic and tactical decisions. There is no rest from the advertising decision or the market development decision while you solve the pricing decision.
You not only have to worry about the tradeoffs within each decision area, but you must also evaluate the tradeoffs between decision areas. Part of the value of the Marketplace experience is learning to manage a dynamic and complex world.
Marketplace will also give you practice in strategic and tactical decision making. After identifying your options, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each, you must commit yourself to a course of action.
The outcome of that action will always be uncertain, but you will find that you can make educated guesses and learn from the results of these decisions in the next quarter. You can then make adjustments so that even questionable decisions can be managed (our hindsight is so much better than our foresight).
The content, context, and educational objective of each decision to be made in the simulation are reviewed in the chapters found under the Help file icon. This help file contains a conceptual discussion of the decisions that you must make. The material found here will help you become familiar with every step in the decision process.
The decisions are presented in approximately the order in which they would be executed in the real world, starting with executive team formation, through market analysis, brand design, advertising, human resources, distribution, manufacturing, and financing.
This step-by-step process will help you organize your decision making while playing the game.
It is recommended that you first review all the material found in each chapter in its entirety in order to get a feel for the "whole" of the decision context. Next, sit down at your computer and work your way through each decision to be made. It is important that you physically enter decisions and investigate the effects of alternate decisions. This form of "hands-on" experience will help familiarize you with the consequences of your decisions.
Finally, the Decisions to be Made by Quarter section will help you organize your work throughout the simulation exercise.
