Business simulation THE BLUE CONNECTION (publisher INCHAINGE) which students will play via a web interface (in English). ECAM La Salle is a forerunner in the deployment of this game (we work in parallel with professors from HEC). The game takes place in 6 to 8 rounds, the students work in teams of 3 or 4 and each plays the role of a manager within the fictitious company The Blue Connection:
