New Business Simulation Game Replicates Real-World Economy

Tycoon Systems Ltd. has released IndustryMasters, a new business simulation game that allows students, business people and others to sharpen their entrepreneurial and strategic management skills. Participants can log into the Web-based tool to play individually or in groups, gain first-hand business experience and get an evaluation of their performance.

(PRWEB) November 3, 2007 -- Many people dream of running their own company. Well now they can get first-hand experience with the new line of business games from Tycoon Systems Ltd. The innovative product--called IndustryMasters--is one of the most realistic business simulation games on the market today, according to its chief developer and managing owner of Tycoon Systems, Thomas Lehnert.

"IndustryMasters provides a game-like environment in which participants experience strategic management of a corporation," Lehnert said. "Thus, it could be best compared with a flight simulator, an interactive learning tool used to train next-generation executives."

IndustryMasters is a multi-player business strategy game that is based on a simulation of a real-world economy. The engaging game enables university students, business professionals and others to boldly go where they may have never gone before--and engineer a successful corporate environment. "Participants take the role of an entrepreneur and compete with each other in real-time for market leadership and shareholder value," Lehnert said, explaining the object of the game.

A Web-based ready-to-use product, IndustryMasters is available in multiple editions, which are customized for usage either in corporate learning, in MBA programs, colleges or for training people without a business background. Participants can play individually or with a team to develop a strategy, undertake an entrepreneurial start-up and compete with each other in a real-time multi-player competition.

The game includes a real-time corporate accounting system, comprehensive industry analysis tools, and scoring and debriefing features. IndustryPlayer MASTERS is an opportunity to develop entrepreneurial and strategic management skills at a broad audience scale.

Tycoon Systems is also in the process of releasing a Competition Edition of IndustryMasters, on the occasion of "Confluence 2008", Asia's largest Business School Summit. The concept for the Competition Edition was developed in partnership with the Confluence Team at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), India's top-ranked business school. "Like at last year's Confluence Summit, over 560 teams from 160 Business Schools, including Ross and Harvard BS, are participating in a competition based on our simulation," Lehnert explained.

IndustryMasters is currently available in English, German and Portuguese, with Spanish and French versions due to be released soon. Licensing fees for the new business simulation game start at $1,000 for 25 accounts. For more information about IndustryPlayer Masters, visit www.industrymasters.com.
