He&#39;s helping me personally to win my game!<br /><br />He took me from 5th place in the first year, to second in the second year, and then first for all the remaining years!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300344388942519631.post-62046466500189157322009-10-17T23:58:41.412+08:002009-10-17T23:58:41.412+08:00There&#39;s a forum at <a href="http://bsgtips.com/forum/" rel="nofollow">BSG Tips Forum</a>.<br /><br />It&#39;s the only BSG forum I know of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300344388942519631.post-83426108676777668052009-07-08T11:00:26.971+08:002009-07-08T11:00:26.971+08:00I am starting the game now.

Brought her from a similar situation in 10th place, up to 4th place with a score near 100, starting halfway through the game.<br /><br />It's doable. The main process is always the same (kind of like what's outlined on the http://www.corvalliscommunitypages.com/How_To_Win_the_BSG_Business_Strategy_Game.htm page)<br /><br />1. Pick your company's strategy - differentiation (high models, low volume, high price, high quality), low cost(high models, high volume, low price, low quality), best cost (high models, high volume, high price, high quality)<br /><br />While you can switch things around from turn to turn, that can make things a bit confusing. Also, if you have a professor that grades you based on whether or not you run it like a real company, that can cost you.<br /><br />2. Translate that strategy into your simulation company's approach<br /><br />3. Check the exchange rates to figure out distribution focuses (where you make more money, sell more there if possible or at least increase the prices if possible)<br /><br />Then do each decision screen at a time.<br /><br />In your specific case, you probably needed a 10 year loan (even at high interest rate) to square things away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300344388942519631.post-4624456257116725192008-11-17T12:08:00.000+08:002008-11-17T12:08:00.000+08:00WHYYY DIDN'T I THINK OF GOOGLING FOR THIS SOONER?!

Someone on the team, who didn't know what they were doing, made a really bad decision. Now we are in the negative in EPS, ROE, Net Profit and our credit rating is a C-. I found you info very helpful, but can't seem to get these negative performance projections to go away. Any thoughts or suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300344388942519631.post-26729522801578146852008-09-26T06:47:00.000+08:002008-09-26T06:47:00.000+08:00Very nice Philip your comments.
