MAnagement Game at NUS)

- A Simulated Environment for Decision Making

( Listed on SGX)

Provides a simulated environment for
1. Business students an opportunity to practise the art and science of corporate planning and managerial decision making.
2. Information systems students to practise building and testing decision support systems.
The system runs on a PC network with an Administration System and a graphical player interface running under Windows. It has a separate language component that allows it to be played in another language. Languages compiled include Japanese, Chinese, Dutch and Indonesian. The following universities and colleges have been using MAGNUS:
- University of Antwerp in Belgium
- Aspect International Management School in Korea
- The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology in Hong Kong
- Ryutsu Keizai University in Japan
- Universidad Panamericana Guadalajara in Mexico
- National Chengchi University in Taiwan
- Singapore International Management Academy in Singapore
- Singapore Institute of Management
As from April 2004, MAGNUS is now enabled on the web and is now exclusively distributed by DecisionWare Simulations and Games Pte Ltd.
