Cesim simulations used in higher education

"Simulations are a great way to teach students to make decisions with ambiguity, because they've taken all kinds of courses over the years, they've been tested, sometimes with cases, sometimes using regular tests; but this allows them to use the full range and make decisions."
"Up until now, students have had an education where we've been cutting all the different business functions into pieces, and for a lot of them this is the first time that they get a chance to see how everything fits together and see some of those interactions that are pretty difficult to capture in a Power Point slide."
"What we'd like students to take away is that they need to integrate information from many different sources when they're making decisions. Regular subject-based courses are narrower and they may focus on the textbook. But here they're trying to pull together rather uncertain information from different sources and somehow still make a decision as best as they can."

What our customers say

"The simulation has been a great addition to my strategy course. It is an extraordinary teaching tool to get the students engaged and enthusiastic about strategy, and the student feedback has been fantastic."

"One of the key advantages of using the Cesim business simulations is the way that they're set up. Even the teams that failed learned a lot, because as they try to introduce corrective strategies, they saw that other teams responded to them or anticipated them and it gave them a real sense of what business is like. It's not just making decisions in a vacuum."

"We needed a simulation that would be relatively easy to get to grips with but with very satisfying and "realistic" levels of complexity and challenge. Cesim Global Challenge fit the bill very well for our Executive MBA students."

"All the graduates came back with the comment I expected, which is that banking and actually running a bank is an incredibly complex business! It’s not quite as simple as ‘pull this lever and this happens."

"I think that the bank simulation represents, reflects as closely as possible, 'the real banking life.' Because we ask the attendees to work, to think as the board of a bank. We have the same issue, the same questions as the real boards of a bank. That's reason why we think it's the most relevant way to learn."

"I wanted my management to experience the main internal and external profitability drivers and challenges from the holistic point of view. Cesim’s solution offered me the opportunity to implement a case and a storyline that captured relevant aspects in a dynamic, competitive, and fun environment."

What participants say about Cesim simulations

Mikola S.
Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences

"I have rarely been so motivated by a school project. This is one of the few times in my life that I have been so inspired, so motivated on a professional school project. I am even sad that it is finished, I would have liked to enjoy another week! Even others in my class were fully invested in the project, everyone loved it."
"The simulation gives a really good overview of the various products offered by a bank—the different departments such as marketing, finance, HR and so on. And because it’s all done in a fun way it's something you really remember. It gave us a really good foundation, and because it was fun we really engaged with it."
