Marketplace Simulations

November 4–15 were exceptional weeks of learning. Marketplace Simulations co-sponsored the First Pan African Early Green Growth Acceleration Bootcamp (also known as AfRIC 2024) and facilitated the Real World Global Challenge. AfRIC 2024 was a truly inspiring conference led by Professor Mahamadou Biga Diambeidou for educators and students from all over Africa and the world. The conference was hosted by Université Senghor à Alexandrie with the exceptional support of its Recteur, Dr. Thierry Verdel. In the Global Challenge, Bindu Agrawal and Marketplace author Ernie Cadotte worked closely with 12 student teams as they competed in our Conscious Capitalism simulation. The Conscious Capitalism simulation is a very challenging exercise, and all students were strong competitors and compassionate Conscious Capitalists. We love the picture below because it demonstrates the joy and excitement of everyone involved. We appreciated all the hard work and careful mentoring that our coaches provided to the students. They included Prof. Richard M. Kiai (Karatina University and Strathmore University), Dr. Isaac Muiruri Gachanja (EMBU), Dr. Moctar Naba Boukari (Université Djibo Hamani de Tahoua), Prof. Kyanda Swaib K, PhD (Makerere University), Dr. Dr. Nourhane El Haridi (Pharos University in Alexandria), and Prince Derrick Dodoo (Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA)) Judges evaluated all the teams relative to their performance during Executive Briefings, Venture Capital Pitch, Report to the Board, and game play. They were the top performers. The top teams included Toure Alamine Alassane dit Papa, Daniel Amani and Ra?ssa YENOISHI BUHALAGARHA from Université Senghor; and Fortunate Agnes Tusiime, Ronnie Atuhaire, and Elisha Nampwera from Makerere University. All the teams performed very well, and their futures show much potential! We would like to thank Recteur, Dr. Thierry Verdel, Professor Mahamadou Biga Diambeidou, and all the students, coaches, and Université Senghor staff that participated in the Real World Global Challenge. We have all been truly changed by our shared experience.

Rochelle is an amazing student leader. This spring, she got to compete the 2024 PRME Global Students Conscious Capitalism Simulation Competition. Every student in the competition was part of a sustainability-minded club at their school. But the Conscious Capitalism game let them do something they had never done before: apply their values in a lifelike business setting. "Competing against some of the brightest minds from various institutions challenged our whole team to think critically and creatively about how a business can be a force for good in society," Rochelle says. Are you ready to challenge your students in the same way? Check out our Conscious Capitalism business simulation: https://bit.ly/4b4Tb7L

Check out two students' review on Marketplace and the practical lessons they learned through it!

Connor took a close look at his reports each quarter, taking notes in a dedicated notebook. He says, "It's a dynamic simulation. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over again." https://bit.ly/4el2ouU

What have YOUR students told you about the Marketplace experience?

Unlike marketing and management, operations management is unseen by most consumers. So how do you give students that much-needed context? Rather just lecture at students, Professor Benton Jones began building classroom exercises that would let students intuit the core challenges and principles of operations management. Today, he's sharing three exercises to get you started: https://bit.ly/3MXlbk2 #operationsmanagement #businesseducation #classroomexercises #businessstudents
