Frequently Asked Questions  

Do I need a background in business administration?

No, the very purpose of the game is to introduce you to the aspects and strategies of business administration.

How can I find a team?

Try to look for the members of your team at your faculty or your university – spread the information about the competition through your acquaintances and fellow students. If none of them is interested, you may consider contacting student organisations operating at your univerisity, maybe they will be able to help you.

Who will I compete with?

This game is intended for students and young professionals with an electrical engineering background. Its intention is to make you get in touch with people like you from our European member countries.

How much time do I have to invest for the game?

During the preliminary round you will need about two hours per week, to take your decisions and to analyse the market.

By which criteria will the winning teams of the preliminary round be determined?

The share price of your company will depend on your results, and it will be taken as the indicator to select those teams which are invited to the final round of the game in Gdansk, Poland. Your overall goal in the game should therefore be to achieve the best performance on the virtual stock market your company is listed on.

Do I need any tools or software to take part in the game?

Preliminary round:

You only need an internet connection to check the market situation and to transfer your decisions before the end of the week. All documents you need will be sent by us in PDF format.

Final round:

We strongly recommend you to take your own computer with you (if impossible, please let us know and we will provide you with a computer - we do not want such issue to prevent you from having a chance to participate). We will also arrange everything else you need to take part in the final round. Nevertheless, you will be allowed to use your books or whatever else you find suitable to use.
