EDUardo Business Simulation Package

The EDUardo Business Simulation package puts learners in the role of a manager who manages a company that produces ZeeShirt t-shirts. Participants will face tasks such as making sales decisions with consideration for the environmental impact throughout the product life cycle, achieving operational efficiency through personnel management, warehouse capacity, and finances, and developing new sustainable projects to optimize production and reduce environmental impact. The simulation provides a unique opportunity for learners to learn about sustainable business practices and the complexities of balancing profitability and environmental impact.

Framework programme of the business simulation

In this simulation, you will play the role of a manager who manages a company that produces ZeeShirt t-shirts. The company targets the young, exclusive market. Participants make decisions regarding the use of sustainable materials, technological development, ecology-oriented marketing, changing employee attitudes, and meeting customer expectations. The challenge is to carry out a green transformation while maintaining the profitability of the company.

Participants are faced with the following tasks:
– Making sales decisions with consideration for the environmental impact throughout the product life cycle.
– Achieving operational efficiency through personnel management, warehouse capacity, and finances.
– Maximizing the company’s potential by finding the right balance between conventional and ecological materials.
– Developing new sustainable projects to optimize production and reduce environmental impact.
– Determining the marketing strategy, taking into account the current level of sustainable development of the company and the risk of “greenwashing.”

Background:
Until recently, companies focused only on profit. Conventional wisdom was: “buy cheap and sell high.” This “race” prompted many companies to lower costs, including those that made their products environmentally friendly. However, as consumers worldwide have become more aware and perceive the danger of living on a polluted planet, they also demand products that do not harm the environment. This forces companies to seek a new priority: being more sustainable.

Goals:
The main goal of the service is to provide an innovative way of teaching business concepts through interactive simulations. The versatile educational collection allows for a wide range of business topics, from entrepreneurship to financial management, leadership, and sustainable development.

Learning outcomes:

• Understanding issues related to green transformation.
• Understanding the complexity of sustainable business operations.
• Acquiring knowledge about “green marketing,” sustainable development, and product life cycle management.
• Familiarization with reports related to sustainable development.
• Testing customer reactions to various sustainable development statuses.

Verification method:
The final game result with a summary of acquired skills and financial reports, which are part of the simulation.

This simulation provides a unique opportunity to learn about sustainable business practices and the complexities of balancing profitability and environmental impact. It allows participants to make informed decisions and understand the importance of sustainable development in the current global climate.
