GEO Gaming Simulation  

 

GEO is an computer-assisted strategic business gaming simulation with an international entrepreneurship orientation. It may be used in conjunction with an academic program, or independently as a competitive event. The simulation is a multi-player game that tracks individual participants, who may be assigned to groups.

The simulation is an Internet-based client-server application that requires Microsoft's .NET Framework, downloadable from Microsoft's support Web site.

To see how the simulation functions, download GEO Demo. Select Run/Open at all security prompts, unless your browser gives you only the option of saving the program, in which case you should save the program to the desktop and launch it from there afterwards. When the program unzips and launches itself, an Access-to-GEO dialog box will appear. Select the Register button, and register yourself using a fictitious name. When you OK the registration, the program's main frame will appear. You can do anything you like at that point. When the demo exits, it cleans up after itself, leaving nothing on the computer.

The audio-visual modules below require Windows Media Player Version 9 or greater. Narrative descriptions are in PDF format.
