SIMULATORS
Better decision making
Thanks to the simulation technique, participants can recognize their own abilities through an experience that combines everyday reality with a holistic view of strategic management. The simulator enables each participant to make decisions in a computerized environment, and then see the impact of those decisions on the various stakeholders of the simulated company.
Through the Strategic Management and Change Management Simulators, participants manage several companies and develop their managerial skills in the principal areas of those companies.
