Business Simulator
Business Simulator is an excellent business simulation from Reality Technologies, maker of our Hall of Fame inductee, What They Don't Teach You At Harvard Business School.
While WTDTYAHBS (ack ;)) simulates the sports management industry, Business Simulator simulates the whirlwind, high-stakes world of nurturing your own business from birth to IPO. And just like its predecessor, Business Simulator is a great game that no business simulation fan will want to miss.
The gameplay is similar to WTDTYAHBS, except that it's more thoughtful: there are fewer events (random or otherwise) to deal with, so you'll spend most of your time sifting through annual reports, memos, and the journal to make sound business decisions. The goal, of course, is to make more money than your competitors.
In Business Simulator, you have to increase both your personal wealth and the book value of your company. Advertised as 'an executive training tool', the game lives up to that claim by offering you a variety of realistic options and factors. As in WTDTYAHBS, there are different 'levels' in the game, each corresponding to a stage in the life of the company.
At level I, where you start the game ('start up'), there are few entrepreneurial choices you can make. As your company grows (and so does your net worth), you will advance to higher levels that will give you access to more choices. The decisions you can make in the game are categorized into two types: 'make decisions' and 'process decisions', which are self-explanatory and provide an excellent way to distinguish between new decisions and following up on decisions you've already made.
With a solid economic model, well-implemented gameplay and well-written text (especially the memos), Business Simulator is a classic, if unfortunately obscure, business simulator that really stands the test of time.
