As part of my coursework for COB 300 in Antwerp I was able to compete in a StratSim virtual business-acumen simulation with a team of 5 colleagues to manage decisions of a start-up car company. Over the course of 8 weeks my team had to adjust to changes in the simulated market and solve operations, marketing, and development issues in order to grow our income and market share. Ultimately, out of 7 different teams competing our team came out on top with the highest gross income, stock price, and revenue. This experience allowed me to grow my critical thinking skills as well as my ability to think outside the box. Our win was truly a group effort that took excellent time management and collaboration. This simulation exposed me to how businesses make big decisions and to a variety of different data metrics that are useful for any industry.
