Threshold Competitor

A Windows-based business management program that simulates the workings of a small business. Working in groups, students can make the decisions needed to run a small manufacturing business. Each group manages a separate company which is in competition with other group-managed companies, not the computer, in the same market place. This work aims to help participants to see the interrelationship of different areas of business; provides the opportunity to ask "what if?" questions by entering a sales estimate and seeing the results if a decision at that level is achieved; and allows decisions to be input directly into a computer, which checks each input to ensure that it is within the allowable range.
