Procedures Introduction

Operation

This section consists of six rounds of operational decision-making, representing nearly two years of the company's development and strategy. It presents a greater challenge than the regional round.

Roadshow

This section features three tasks, each focusing on different sub topics representing different stages of company development.Outstanding companies will stand a chance to win more investment capital for their business operations.

Trading game

Participants will engage in buying, selling, negotiating, and trading. The objective is to trade with other companies, with those amassing the highest financial resources in their category emerging as the winners.

Business Simulation and Sustainable Development Goals

 
 
 
Throughout the simulation, students will learn critical business concepts such as product design, branding, operations management, and future growth forecasting.

Since 2021, the ASEEDER Business Simulation has also incorporated Sustainable Development Goals (ASIA) as a core tenet of its program design, to mirror the growing need for sustainability in the strategic decisions that real-world companies now make.

Each month students are challenged to propose sustainable business solutions that focus on a different SDG, and to cultivate a deeper understanding of businesses as dual engines of economic growth and social development.

Student's feelings and experiences

From conducting industry research to ultimately putting our entrepreneurial ideas into practice, we completed a full business operation process during this challenge. One important lesson I learned is that to create a successful business, you must first identify consumer and market needs. This experience not only taught me how to write a comprehensive business plan but also how to design a compelling pitch to attract potential investors. Imagine, you only have 2 minutes to present, and in that short time, you need to convey the entire contents of a 10-page business plan to our future investors. Sounds challenging, right?

After participating in so many ASIA Business Simulation, I’ve come to understand an important truth: never jump to conclusions until the very last moment. A small mistake could lead to complete failure, while a slight adjustment in strategy might help us capture the market and achieve a comeback. "Tension" and "excitement" have always been synonymous with business competitions, and as CEOs, we need to constantly lead our team through numerous challenges, putting in our best effort at every stage. Business is never a solo battlefield; it’s about teamwork, trust, and mutual support. Possessing this spirit, for us, is the true victory.
