RealGame training is based on experiential learning where groups of participants manage virtual manufacturing companies. In your company, you will make decisions on production, sales, marketing, R&D, finance and logistics. Together with your team mates you will be learning both through interaction with the simulation model, as well as with each other.

The experiential nature and the intensity and motivational aspects of the training enhance and strengthen the learning experience. The simulation game has been developed by Timo Lainema in his doctoral studies in Turku School of Economics, Finland. Until Autumn 2007, some 2.500 business managers and experts have participated in the training.

The following pages will quide you through the basics of RealGame. You will get an overall view on how RealGame works, what decisions and action are to be taken in the game and what  learning aims we have. Rather than being a simulation demo, the pages introduce you to RealGame logics and content. We will go through the processes and areas of decision making in closer detail when we meet.
