Case Study: Lappeenranta University of Technology achieves deeper student engagement and practical learning with Cesim Global Challenge

Lappeenranta University of Technology - Customer Case Study

Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) sought a way to effectively bridge the gap between theoretical business concepts and practical application in its Master's program. To meet this challenge, Associate Professor Anssi Tarkiainen turned to Cesim and implemented the Cesim Global Challenge simulation as the core of the "International Business Strategies" capstone course.

The solution from Cesim provided a dynamic and competitive simulated business environment that deeply engaged students. The implementation resulted in students developing a strong analytical mindset, exhibiting impressive forecasting and competitor analysis skills, and gaining a holistic understanding of how different business functions interconnect. Cesim's tool successfully created a motivating learning platform that nurtured strategic thinking and allowed students to experience the entire business process from planning to execution.
