Business Simulation Reporter

The "Reporter" simulation is a proven training method full of strong emotions and violent twists that takes participants into the atmosphere of the frenzied 1930s, where six parties fight for the prestigious Pulitzer Prize. The simulation focuses on the tough negotiations that occur more often than you might think - in applying for a loan, collecting debts, negotiating with suppliers or ordering software. The workshop can be conducted both onsite and remotely, and the simulation is highly flexible - it can be stopped and resumed multiple times, interweaving other training content.
