Often the score and ranking in the game accounts for a large percentage of the grade for the course, up to 40%. These games put student teams in control of a manufacturing company of shoes (BSG) or cameras + UAV Drones (GLO-BUS) to compete head-to-head throughout the semester. This is usually a capstone course that's intended to integrate the knowledge from the business core such as economics, finance, accounting, production, distribution, marketing, and supply-chain management. 'Many MBA programs have a strategic management course that uses one of two popular online simulation games, BSG and GLO-BUS. I expect teams to show diligence and effort to receive help, since it wouldn't be fair to give a bunch of lazy slackers the huge benefit of assistance when other students deserve the help more by demonstrating their their hard work.įor those here who are unfamiliar with these games, here's the description from my last post about them: I won't help teams who are too slow to respond to me. Often I'll reply in minutes or a few hours at most. Don't assume that I will take days to reply. Important Note: If you contact me via PM, please check frequently for my replies. The GLO-BUS game has been significantly changed for 2017, so there's much to discuss for students facing these games.

The prior thread has proven to be very popular based on the number of students who posted their questions and who contacted me via PM. So if you need help and want to ask questions about these games, this is the place for it. Another season of new games are in progress at the moment, so I think it's time to update and refresh the info here on r/MBA to help the students who are currently or soon to be playing this challenging game for their business degree programs. It's been about 9 months since I made my last post about the BSG and GLO-BUS business strategy games.
