Characterisation
The management game "TOPSIM-General Management” is an IT-based simulation of company structures and procedures designed for learning and practising managerial ways of thinking and acting.
This computer-aided management simulation game represents a model of the business operations in an industrial enterprise. Participants take on the role of the board of directors and have to make decisions concerning all aspects of managing an industrial enterprise (purchasing, staffing, production, investments, marketing, R&D, accounting, finance and strategy). The groups compete against each other and have to cope with challenging scenarios.
This allows the students to familiarise themselves with how the business world works whilst working together in small groups.
