My experience with CountryManager

“I have been using Country Manager in my MBA classes for over a decade. The simulation is a rich experience that teaches students about the complexity of marketing globally. Students are exposed to making decisions about market attractiveness, plant location and capacity management as well as managing the growth of their product portfolio.

It is an engaging game since the students are in teams competing against one another, which all MBAs love! I use almost all of the assignments that Interpretive offers. The assignments help them get oriented with the game and the data as well as help to improve their decisions as they play the game.

Learning by doing is my teaching philosophy and Country Manager allows me to bring this philosophy into the classroom.”
