Abstract

In this simulation, students learn to identify typical industry characteristics revealed in financial data. Equipped with an interactive and flexible set of tools, students analyze disguised financials and—using their knowledge of operational practices and reasoning skills—match them to real companies and their descriptions. The simulation allows faculty to assign firms from a library of more than 50 publicly traded companies or upload their own.
