Multimarket

You have a secure home market but need access to new markets to satisfy your expansion plans. There are three immediate possibilities each with different political and economic conditions. Will you be able to trade and/or manufacture in them? If you do will you be able to repatriate the profits or will currency restrictions and despotic rulers prevent you.

  • A simulation for teams of 3-6 members with 6 teams competing together. (Computer required)
  • Needs between four and eight hours, which can be split into discrete periods, depending on the objectives set.
  • Elgood can provide facilitation for this game

Way Forward

As the board of this company you need to ensure that the company portrays a consistent image. You will have to consider the company's financial strategy and ensure that the policies it adopts towards its customers and suppliers support it. A company that charges high prices for a premium product but is unprepared to support its partners will be severely punished by its customers.

  • A simulation for groups of 4-6 members each with between 3 and 6 teams competing together. (Computer required)
  • The first period requires between 60-90 minutes and there are five periods if the game is played to the end.
  • These periods can be broken up and interspersed with other activities.
  • Elgood can provide facilitation for this game

Featured Game Sister Teams
 

"We could have done that if you had bothered to ask!" When individual groups forget that they are part of a wider team co-operative opportunities pass unseen; there is duplication of effort: time and money are wasted: in extreme cases there is deliberate unhelpfulness.

Sister Teams uses a number of individual but related tasks to demonstrate how a team that is determined to fulfil its own agenda and offer no assistance to others will jeopardise its own results and that of associated groups.

  • A collection of inter-related tasks for three teams of between 6-8 members each.
  • Needs between one and a half and two hours.
