Description

This is a one (1) unit course.

This course will expose students to a business laboratory environment.  During the course, students will be given the opportunity to integrate their understanding of the various business disciplines by developing a business plan and executing the plan over several simulated years of competition utilizing a computerized business simulation. The course will introduce students to topics discussed in other courses in the MEM curriculum.

During the competition, teams of students will compete in a dynamic marketplace for market share and profitability. During each round of competition, teams must synthesize decisions across the functional areas of the business: marketing, research & development, production, distribution, and finance.
