THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL BUSINESS GAME
The Frankfurt School Business Game (hereafter referred to as “FSBG”) is a business game organized by Frankfurt School students but also by students of different faculties and different universities.
The purpose of the FSBG is to familiarize students with the reality of the work that they will face in their professional life. Three different challenges and two different workshops are organized.
The Game is based on an interactive economic simulation where the participants evolve within a defined competitive environment. The decisions made by the participants will affect their level of success.
The Game will develop in three stages: Stage 1: Registration; 2: Participant selection; Stage 3: 2-day event consisting of 3 challenges and 2 workshops.
The Game will take place in February/ March 2020.
The final results will be announced at the game itself and after the event on the FSBG website www.fs-bg.de.
