In their own words
OGG IND
OGG IND is a web-based business strategy simulation in which participants become CEOs, receive seed capital, and manage a large industrial company with multiple product lines. Decisions span production, finance, marketing, and human resources. Players choose one of Porter’s generic strategies initially, compete for the market, and respond to strikes, demand changes, and stock-exchange market triggers. Instructors can configure macroeconomic and microeconomic events, while scenarios offer different complexity levels. A Balanced Scorecard dashboard summarizes operations and supports management reports. Built-in reports include income statement, cash flow, KPIs, balance sheet, estimated and realized budget, and dashboard views. Sessions can run from eight hours to one semester. The platform runs in common web browsers without extra installation and supports desktops, laptops, and tablets. Listed languages are English, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. OGG recommends it for executive training, MBA programs, and later-semester business, accounting, economics, or production-engineering courses. Multiplayer, instructor dashboards, advanced scenario customization, and assessment tools are listed. Pricing is available on request.
