Cesim Business Simulations

Cesim was born 25 years ago from the realization that business and management was learned in silos. Learners seldom got to experience competitive dynamics, the interactions between different functions, or what it means to cope with uncertainty.

Cesim simulations are competitive - participants make decisions that influence their competitors and vice versa. They are also WCAG 2.0 and GDPR compliant."
