5 Running Footraces

Capstone and Foundation simulations can be run as a Footraces, where all participant teams compete against a common set of competitors. Footrace results are easy to monitor; instructors can compare a wide range of ratios and results, including Profit, Cumulative Profit, ROS, ROE, ROA, Stock Price, Asset Turnover, Market Capitalization and Market Share. Footraces are ideal for tracking performance in large classes.

Our largest Footrace to date involved 900 participants in a single class, taught by one professor with help from a small group of teaching assistants.

Footrace companies can be run by teams or by individuals. In Self-Paced mode, participants can proceed at their own rate, which can be helpful in independent study or make-up environments.
