OGG IND vs The Business School

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.

The Business School is a browser-based classroom simulation where student teams run rival firms in a shared market during one lesson. Teams decide prices, hiring, loans, VAT, crises, and deals, with the effects visible in the simulation. Each session supports 6 to 32 students across up to eight firms of three or four. Teachers can pause or resume phases, trigger a crisis, review firm activity, and display a live leaderboard. Students join using a six-digit PIN and a team label or first name, without student accounts or email addresses. They can download private reports, while the teacher receives a curriculum-mapped class report by email within 48 hours. Knowledge Check questions are listed for 23 business courses, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Cambridge, BTEC, and IB courses. Session data is stored in an EU database in Frankfurt; the company says it does not sell data or use it for advertising, and teachers can end a session at any time. A free teacher demo is listed. School and trust licence prices are by quote after the pilot. The Autumn 2026 pilot cohort is full, with a waitlist open.
