During this seminar, the student will have to exploit the experiences of the training in management by working in a team. This seminar is a business game. The tool used is the iBGame (Designer: G.

At the end of the seminar, the student will be able to:
- understand the relationship between the decisions of finance, marketing, production, HR, etc.
- read financial statements
- put a financial diagnosis
- work in a team.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The seminar is organized during three full days: the participants, split into groups, are in charge of managing a fictitious firm. The students fix beforehand the strategy of their company and  then take a whole series of decisions. The IT support allows to obtain very numerous financial information and facilitates the simulations which precede decision-making. The play session is preceded by some preparatory sessions.
