Simulations

Would you like to offer your students a new learning experiences? Have you ever thought about using a simulation in your class?

A simulation is a learning tool that places students in a combination of business situations in which they need to apply the concepts that they´ve learnt in class and make decisions under pressure.

Our professors have developed these simulations following IESE innovative learning models: interaction, real cases, practice, technology as a means and learning as an outcome.
