Orders from the competing companies are entered by an organizer in a market simulator program, Winfirme. Students then analyze their results, and take further decisions. Inputs of fundamental knowledge alternate with game play. This simulation is in French, and takes place during a fixed period. At the end of it, students must offer an analysis of company management. They must moreover present a report of their actions. Context of this report is theirs to decide (interview with journalists, meeting ...)
