Let your students take over the role of general manager at a bicycle and jeans factory with Virtual Business - Management Online. Students begin by managing a small facility and control limited factors. As they grow in business knowledge, they can lease as much space as they want and grow into manufacturing giants. In advanced projects, students can lay out factory floors and office environments to maximize output and minimize cost. In the process, students deal with absent employees, fast workers and slow workers, strikes, accidents and more. In multiplayer mode, opportunities to bid on orders appear in real-time to all students in the class.

With Virtual Business - Retailing Online, students start with a familiar grocery/convenience store. As they advance, they manage sporting goods and electronics retailers. Promotion options include traditional media and new options such as email campaigns. Students can fully design the retail layout of their stores. Grocery stores highlight perishables; sports stores highlight seasonality; electronics stores highlight personal selling. The "Mega-Mogul" project lets advanced students establish a retail empire of multiple stores in multiple product categories. Improved multiplayer mode lets students compete in class or from home, at your option.
