Live Case Challenge—Business Simulation

  • Classroom-based Developmental Pedagogies
  • Enhance your learning through collaboration, communication and strategic thinking

    WHY Live Case Challenge—Business Simulation?

    Participants are immersed in simulated business scenarios, replicating real-world business environments and challenges.

    In a business simulation, participants take on roles within a virtual company or industry and make decisions related to various aspects of business operations, such as marketing, finance, operations and strategy.

    Participants apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations, and the feedback mechanisms built into the simulation provide insights into student’s performance and encourages reflection and continuous improvement.

    Argus Properties Ltd. sponsors the activity and the students compete to be named the top team of the year—which comes with winning the prestigious Argus Cup and $8,000 in student prize money.
