The Business School is a browser-based live business simulation for the classroom.
Students work in teams to run competing car dealerships. Each firm makes shared decisions about stock, pricing, marketing, staffing, borrowing and investment, then negotiates face to face with other firms to buy and sell vehicles. Firms also compete for larger fleet deals, so students need to make decisions together.
Sessions last 30–75 minutes. Teachers can follow the firms’ results live and receive a class report afterwards, while students receive a short personal report. Students join with a PIN; nothing needs to be installed.
You can request a trial using the link below.
