The University of Bolton has recently become a training partner with SimVenture|, the UK's leading and multi-award winning developer of Business Game Simulation software.
Simventure is more than just a game, it is a complete package of learning for new managers and supervisors, that allows users to test and examine their business decision-making skills in a competitive yet low risk environment.
Ideally teams of approximately 3 people, compete against each other in a simulated company where periodic business decisions need to be made. See how changes to Stock Levels affect Cash-Flow or Promotions help support Sales orders. Recruit and Train new staff; create an Advertising campaign, re-Design and Price your product to target a new market sector.
Key features of the game are: Organisation, Sales & Marketing, Finance and Operations.

The University of Bolton is able to work with individual company managers or a team built from within the organisation. We will provide all the help and support they need to learn new business skills and develop the knowledge and understanding of what makes a business really 'tick'.
Above all, our SimVenture experience is challenging, educational and enjoyable.
"For too long we have relied on workshops, seminars and business planning competitions to teach about business and enterprise. In my opinion, we need resources that get as close to reality as possible so people can practice making commercial decisions. SimVenture is excellent and it is the only business simulation I would recommend" Stu Anderson – Executive Director – Shell Livewire
