Make a great simulation part of your fall courses

    We are looking for professors to join us this fall term in having students
    located at universities around the world work together in virtual teams
    tackling as a central course activity a very interesting online simulation
    called Association Global View. This is a 100 percent web-based
    international business simulation suitable for both graduate and
    undergraduate courses in topical areas such as strategy and international
    business. We have students both at the graduate and undergraduate level
    already scheduled to participate in this boundaryless learning community.
    It is actually not too late for you to get your students involved in this
    sure-to-be one of the most exciting and valued learning experiences of their
    studies.

    In the simulation, each student team (usually comprised of six students) is
    its own firm in the scent (perfume) industry. The simulation includes
    multiple decision screens. These strategic decisions involve management,
    accounting, finance, production, and marketing factors in an international
    context.

    This is available worldwide. Students register for this online paying a $60
    fee. To find out more about this simulation and joining this 21st century
    pedagogical tour de force contact our focal person, Professor Jane LeMaster
    (University of Texas--Pan American) at jlemaster@panam.edu or by phone at
    1-956-381-3317.

    My students are in. You should have your students join too!
