The Micromatic Business Simulation Game allows students to decide their company mission, goals, policies, and
strategies. Student teams make their decisions on a quarter-by-quarter basis:
determining price, sales and promotion budgets, operations decisions, and financing requirements.
Each decision round requires students to make approximately 100 decisions.
Students compete against other players or against the computer; use Micromatic for practice, tournaments,
or for assessment.
You can control any business simulation element you wish; leave the rest alone.
Because of the number and type of decisions the student users must make,
Micromatic is classified as a medium to complex business simulation game.
This helps students understand how the functional areas of a business fit
together without being bogged down in needless detail and provides students
with an excellent capstone experience in decision-making.
