FLAME University, in collaboration with Marketplace Solutions, USA is pleased to announce a 3-day workshop on Teaching with Simulations during January 8-10, 2020 at FLAME University, Pune.

Introduction

Business simulation is a competitive learning tool in which students pit their business skills against those of aggressive competitors under the guidance of a facilitator. Simulations present complex situations in an attractive interface and require the student to analyze the problems, think in strategic ways, integrate resources across functions and disciplines, formulate solutions, act on them and deal with the consequences. This engaging form of experiential learning is one of the most effective pedagogies in business education. Teaching with Simulations is a 3-day workshop which presents an opportunity for business faculty to learn the art of using simulations in their course.
