The Marketing Game

The 'Marketing Game' is essentially a competitive marketing strategy simulation which grants students the opportunity to apply the unique marketing knowledge in an interesting and fun manner. The game has application for all the various aspects of marketing and all of the different levels, mainly because of the fact that the game is based on multiple simulations with a singular integrated framework. The instructor is able to make decisions on the degree of complexity by choosing the total number of decisions areas that they will be asked to consider in different levels. This makes the game as applicable for a student studying in the first year as it does for a Graduate student. In the simulation, the instructor is also able to establish or regulate the overall marketing environment so that unique teaching and learning objectives of the students are respected. The instructor also decides if the students are going to compete against themselves or work in groups to compete against each other. Moreover, the foundation of the game is established upon actual marketing relationships and techniques so that it promotes optimum flexibility.
