research entrepreneurship-related simulations

In lieu of playing The Startup Game and reflecting on the experience, your task is
to research entrepreneurship-related simulations and recommend some potential options for use in this course.
Assignment Instructions:

Research
• Use your well-developed research skills to scour the internet for providers of entrepreneurship-
related simulations. Be mindful of the learning outcomes associated with the simulations you find to make sure they are relevant to the concepts in the course. Though they do not need to be designed only for the post-secondary level, it’s likely the best options will be.

Report
• Once you have compiled a list of simulations, write a report outlining the best 3-4 simulations
you found. Include the following information for each simulation:
o The simulation’s name, premise, and who it was designed for.
o Where and how to access the simulation (i.e. publisher, URL, cost, etc.)
o It’s learning outcomes.
o How the simulation is played.
o Why you recommend the simulation for use in the course.

*Important: Do not include The Food Truck Challenge or The Startup Game because
they are already being used in the course.

Assignment Submission:
• Your written submission should be formatted as a Word or PDF document with a standard font
type and size (titles and headings may be larger), double spacing, normal margins, and page
numbers. It should be 1 pages in length, excluding your title page.
• Your title page should include the assignment name, your name, the course code, the
professor’s name, and the date of submission.
