Virtonomics Episode 24

"BUSINESS SIMULATIONS FOR TRAINING AND EDUCATION"

As a student in economics , I am very interested in reading more and more about this domain of activity . The curiosity of everything new is very high at this age and I discovered this title from the "Simformer Platform" ( I added also the link on the name if you want to check ) . Most of you know how expensive the student books are . Starting from a couple of dollars the 100 pages books to more than 20-30 dollars , the really good ones. And they are so many . What I didn't found are practice courses of economics , because Virtonomics may be the only one , or maybe the best , online business multiplayer simulator . So I found this :


This is one the products that Simformer is selling . There are also other , but with a bigger price .


Yes , this 2 courses are the most interesting ( in my opinion ) . You really need to check the site . I will definitely try to buy one of these or both . But Heavy Steel is for sure my favorite . 

You may ask , what is the big deal with this ?

They offer you a huge boost of knowledge and business tricks in the game compared with the reality . This skills are developed with only one pack bought from Simformer ;



Definitely will tell my teachers to try this at the university !

Virtonomics Episode 18

HOW I MET YOUR VIRTONOMICS


Sorry for posting this story , but I find it very interesting . The story is how I played Virtonomics for the very first time . I was in 11th grade , 2 years ago , and I wanted to try different types of strategy games . Not only the classic , browser , war games and shooters . And I found this virtual business simulator . 

Hmmm ... Let's try it !

The interface was pretty . I checked the subdivisions and it's roles. It was hard for me to set the efficiency and to supply my stores . I couldn't understand , why this game is so hard !? Then , the biggest problem , key words . What are assets? But market share? I played it only for 2 days . In my mind , it was too difficult . The mechanics were so different to other games . 

Now , playing again since november , 2 years after , this simulator seems to be fascinating . Maybe it's because I study economics . I can't call Virtonomics a game anymore . Having even a virtual company seems to be very hard , because there are 3 factors that need to be unterstood and practiced :

1. Competition
2. Price
3. Time

All these factors lead to one thing , marketing experience .
