Teams of four will each represent a separate company in a computer simulated business environment called CESIM OnService, and have to compete with other teams during a month. Given certain economic and financial constraints teams have to make decisions in such areas as finance, investment, R&D, production planning, marketing and logistics and compete with other teams from the same group for a larger market share and a higher share price.
Teams will have to make decisions approximately twice a week.
All teams will be divided between 12 regions (find the region you belong to in the application form*) in groups of teams in order to guarantee geographical coverage of the event. Each team will be allocated a certain amount of points based on the position in their group.
Few days after the application process ends (February 12th) - CESIM login information will be sent to captains.
During this and the 3rd step creativity in developing a team description with a photo are to be prepared as well. The deadline for the application package is the same as for case studies - 21st of March.
Requirements for the application package:
1. A team description (< 250words) with a photo (creativity is crucial!);
2. CVs of all team members.
The CESIM rounds start on the 17th of February and ends on the 13th of March.
*Note: Teams which will incorrectly choose their region may be disqualified
**Note: Teams which will not participate in preliminary round will be disqualified
