Our simulations can be used on all operating systems, requiring only an Internet Browser and an Internet Connection. Smartsims have developed a family of Online Business Simulations that encourage engagement and accelerate learning by giving students their own business experience. Students are immersed in the key concepts of business and strategy, as they interact in teams, managing their own simulated online organization. Smartsims are a pioneer in the industry. We have been involved in education through simulation for over 20 years. Our simulations are used by Universities, Colleges, and High Schools; as well as Corporate Training and Certification Courses. Each year our simulations are used in close to 20 countries worldwide, and in the last decade we've had over 250,000 people use our simulations. Our customers come back year after year, and some have even won awards for the use of our simulations in their courses. Other simulations include: MikesBikes-Advanced: Strategic Management Simulation Music2Go: Principles of Marketing Simulation AdSim: Principles of Advertising Simulation For further information about the company, go to: http://www.smartsims.com/about-us
