It's a very exhilarating experience.
It gets to a point where I sometimes have dreams about my team's decisions and our competitors.

Marketplace Live offers several simulations for an integrative exercise that brings together all the theoretical knowledge students learn in a graduate business curriculum. Students make strategic and tactical decisions in all the functional areas of business as they manage an international corporation. With eight decision periods, the simulation becomes the dominant activity of the course for 8 to 10 weeks.

International Corporate Management
Covers the same content as the Strategic Corporate Management simulation with additional emphasis on international business issues such as changes in economic and political situation, exchange rates and demand fluctuations between the international regions.
International Corporate Managment with Real-time Economic Conditions
An emphasis on international business issues such as changes in economic and political situation, exchange rates and demand fluctuations between the international regions.
The economic index for each region is tied to the stock market in that region and the exchange rates reflect the actual rates that exist on the day of processing. In responding to this economic uncertainty, students can try their hand at hedging and speculative investments in foreign currencies.
International Corporate Management with Outsourcing
An emphasis on international business issues such as changes in economic and political situation, exchange rates and demand fluctuations between the international regions.
The outsourcing element provides the students with a full set of supply-chain options, allowing them to make investments to speed up and better coordinate the exchanges between business partners.
