Entrepreneur:  A Business Simulation in Retailing  -  Now Browser-Based!

Jerald Smith and Peggy Golden

This business simulation game is a dynamic exercise designed for students enrolled in courses that feature the concepts in entrepreneurship, business, and/or retailing. It provides student players with simulated real-world experience in managing the variables that are encountered in business decision making. It enables the student to practice various principles in addition to learning them--a learning by doing approach to education. The scenario and rules of the simulation can be learned about an hour. An additional benefit for players of the simulation is they will experience early in the educational process how many areas of business are interrelated and that the decision maker must consider how each affects the other. The scenario described is one concerning the retail clothing industry, a fast- paced business with hyper-competition.

Interpretive Simulations, our publisher, has updated the simulation and adapted it for use on the internet.  Instructors may download resources and demo the simulation by requesting a faculty ID through the Interpretive site.  A link is provided below.
