The Market Place Business (Management) game was designed to let participants experience the specific problems of worldwide business operations. The complexity of the game is such that team collaboration is required for a good result.
The Market Place Business (Management) game requires participants to make a number of interrelated decisions. For example, Market Place (Integrated) Business (Management) game teams have to decide which brands to design, produce and sell, whether to enter a foreign market, whether to invest in Research and Development for increasing value of their brands, which investment and finance policies to follow, and how to advertise their brands.

The Market Place Business (Management) game licence can be bought from the IL-center. Every student has (will) receive(d) an e-mail from IL-center which contains the instructions for obtaining the license and making the payment. Remember every student needs an individual license.
