The Powerful Educational Experience of the Capstone 2.0 Business Simulation® India
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING — THE CURRENT DIRECTION IN EDUCATION
What is Capstone 2.0 Business Simulation?
Capstone® 2.0 is a rich, complex business simulation designed to teach marketing, strategy, business finance and accounting, cross functional alignment, competitive analysis, teamwork and the selection of tactics to build a successful, focused organization. Participants will face a complex and rapidly evolving scenario in which business acumen is tested and enhanced through modelling, analysis and strategic planning.
In Capstone® 2.0, participants will run a $100 million company for eight years (or rounds) as a team. The company they take over is unfocused and performing poorly. It is trying to support five products in very different market segments and faces constant customer demand for better, faster, cheaper products. There is immediate pressure for the management team to develop a strategy and implement it thoroughly with every decision.
MBA/Masters/Graduate level Management and Business Courses are ideal for Capstone Business Simulation. Over 60+ top BSchools and Corporates use the Capstone 2.0 Business Simulation in India.
Business changes constantly, but the essential building blocks of management remain the same. Business schools teach them –from strategy to finance—using research results, case studies and textbooks. But to understand how the parts work to make functional whole, nothing beats the hands-on experience of running a business. Capstone® 2.0 Business Simulation is like business itself: complex, competitive and constantly changing. Capstone® 2.0 simulation by Capsim provides a complete, interactive experience in the development and execution of strategy and tactics. It’s the opportunity to use every key lever of business to build a profitable and sustainable enterprise.

Capstone 2.0 Business Simulation: A rewarding journey into advanced business management
Capstone® 2.0 simulation is a rich, complex business simulation designed to teach strategy, competitive analysis, finance, marketing, operations, human resource management, cross-functional alignment, and the selection of tactics to build a successful and focused company. Entering the Capstone® 2.0 Business Simulation experience, participants face a complex and rapidly evolving scenario in which business acumen is tested and enhanced through modelling, analysis and strategic planning.
The challenge is to turn around a poor- performing, $100 million company, with five average products, in very different market segments, while satisfying customer demands for better, faster and cheaper products. With five to eight years to build success, there is immediate pressure for the management team to develop a strategy and implement it thoroughly with every decision.
Each round is a year in the company’s life and decisions are made in research and development, production, marketing and finance. Additional modules – in human resources, quality management and sustainability, labour negotiations and advanced marketing – can be added to increase both the complexity of the task and the learning opportunities.
At the end of each round, comprehensive reports are provided on each company’s individual performance. There is also an industry report with extensive detail –such as product value chains for each company, inventory on hand, and production capacities – providing ample opportunity for competitive analysis.
Capstone® 2.0 simulation provides the rare opportunity to experience running a complete business, with the benefit of reports that show clear correlations between management decisions and outcomes. Faced with a full range of strategy-based decision-making options, participants have the opportunity to try new tactics, test unfamiliar strategic paradigms and take risks in a risk-free environment.
Simulations train pilots, soldiers and doctors — professions where learning is vital and mistakes can cost lives. But mistakes during simulations result in valuable teaching moments – with no harm done. We now see a dramatic increase in the use of educational simulations. The study of business is well suited to simulation. While business mistakes rarely cost lives, they can cost livelihoods.
