Description

Welcome to the course: “Capsim Business Simulation: Capstone, Foundation and CompXM”.

The simulation can be overwhelming at the start, but fret not! We will go over all the concepts and get all the tools that are needed in order to succeed in the simulation.

During the making of the course, a lot of thought was put into what material should be covered, and I tried to put in the minimal amount of calculations and formulas, and instead focus on explaining the thought process behind the decisions, the strategies, and focus on the “why”, rather than the “how”.

Since some calculations are still needed, simple to use spreadsheets were added with examples in the videos on how to use them in order to make the calculations as easy as possible.
