Business Simulations

Make a Million!

In this business simulation teams are in a single market in the UK. They have the chance to expand into two other UK markets - and even more in Europe. Competition is tough and a clear strategy is required - especially with additional management problems piling in each round! Requires only ONE pc (or laptop) and printer.


How it works

Teams manage a business that markets state of the art handsets giving on-line access to sports, medical and dietry information. Successful in the UK’s hi-tech telecommunications industry, they are now looking to expand into Europe. It’s big business if they get it right. Over five periods, each representing six months, teams make decisions which are processed by computer. Each period gives P&L accounts and Balance Sheets that must be analysed and acted upon.

What it does

Make a Million! tests commercial acumen as well as facing teams each period with three ‘management decisions’ that they must reach consensus on. They also learn to keep an eye on the competition, spend money on market research and ensure that sales don’t run ahead of stock – oh yes and there’s that warehouse fire. Were they insured?
