CAPSIM Foundation

After working for the past two years, I have realized that many of the simulation features were also in real working life. At my current work, I am responsible for forecasts, placing orders, pricing, and marketing. My task is to study competitor product, estimate the number of sales of a certain product in a specific price range based on the market share of each brand. This would fall in the forecast phase of the game. Another phase in the game which I found very helpful is pricing. As Laos current economic situation is rather unstable, the national Lao Kip currency tends to fluctuate very often throughout the year; therefore, monitoring exchange rate is crucial. Global DNA has taught me how important teamwork is in a company. It teaches you that every single choice you decide to make will have a great impact on the outcome. I believe it has and continues to help a lot of students to think more critically and have a first-hand experience on how a company operates.

I wanted to let you know that [Capsim simulations] are one of the best bargains, yes I said bargains, on the market. My students get more value per dollar than any other learning tool they have. Thank you.

The simulation [Capsim] has been a fantastic addition to my classes and the support given is tremendous. I recently tried a competition across three countries and it was a success – all in two days with 7 rounds!

 Students have the opportunity to see how decisions resonate within all areas of the company and they begin to appreciate the organization as a system of interrelated parts. We will definitely continue using the program [Capsim] for our MBA Capstone course.
