Great profits and some better all round decision making…. however, there are rumours swirling about competition heating up. Make sure you read the newsletter.

Congratulations to everyone for finishing so strongly (especially those two teams that have taken out this opening part of the competition). See you at the presentations.

Some big profits this period (5 over $1Million). Keep up the good work… Only one period to go!

Sorry for the delay…. but the results are in! Massive profits for some… Changes of lead & more Grand Prix coming up.

A really good round by all. Some changes in positions at the top of the leaderboards and most teams positioning themselves well for the coming Grand Prix.

A much better period all round, with plenty of profits.

You’ve got some time off until the next decision, not due until 16 Aug.

I’m happy to report that your period 1 results are available now.

Not too many profits around this period…. but it is only the beginning and you’ve got to play the long game!

Here’s a look at your game and what you’ll be seeing on a weekly basis. Take a look and get a feel for where the information sits and what issues there might be with your company.

Opening Scenario: Vodafone | Start Position: VOF021_P0| Economic Conditions: ECN

The Vodafone Business Challenge is a business simulation where teams of you will compete against each other in the running of a fictitious company.

The business decisions made each period will be entered into the simulation website, where the computer simulation analyses the effects on the competing companies (or teams).

You will play over six periods with a business scenario set to encourage competition, and to keep you guessing as to what is coming over the next few months (timetable to follow).

We hope you both enjoy the Challenge and learn a lot along the way.
