About The Small Business Game
Through a Flash-based online game environment, students learn how to run a sports retail store based on retailing football club merchandise.
In the process they experience the start-up and management of a business, learning both from their mistakes and from their successes. It can be used in class as a fun, interactive way to learn about a variety of concepts from across the school curriculum.
Students can:
- Learn what it is like to manage a small business.
- Learn what works in business-and what doesn’t work.
- Experiment with different strategies and tactics to see the impact of your decisions.
- Play the game well and you might be able to dominate the Leader board and win prizes.
