Micromatic is a web-based business simulation game designed for use in both graduate and undergraduate Strategic Management courses. Micromatic allows students to experience the kinds of issues that are involved in managing a small manufacturing operation ($2 million to $4 million in annual sales). The company sells its product in three sales regions, one of which is the European Union. Players managing Micromatic must have a coordinated strategy (e.g., marketing, operations, and finance are in sync) to achieve success. Micromatic has a rich 25-year history, updated for today's demanding learning environments.

The Business Policy Game (BPG) is a total enterprise simulation designed for use in undergraduate and graduate classes as well as in executive education programs.
