What global marketing challenges would you face if the simulation were based on a real-world situation? Discuss the difference in the experience you would have with the assumptions built into the simulation (e.g., no cultural barriers, language, currency, tariffs, mode of entry challenges).

The simulation market - An analysis of market research will allow students to identify target markets, select geographic sales offices, design brands (personal computers), and develop pricing and advertising. The simulation is designed as a start-up company's market entry into a new market, in this case personal computers sold on a business-to-business (i.e., not to the consumer) market. There are eight decision periods, effectively quarterly periods over a 2-year time frame. The first year (i.e., the first 4 quarters) is used to assess the market, develop a strategy, and test marketing tactics. The second year (the next 4 quarters) calls for a full market rollout. Teams and individuals are evaluated using a "balanced scorecard" unique to Marketplace Live but consistent with a balanced scorecard approach used in business today.
