BOSS Training Workshop 2014
BOSS stands for: Business Opportunities for Student Success
The BOSS Project is a state wide initiative to educate students in business acumen and decision making skills. The participating BOSS Schools are competing in an industry that consists of six competing schools. Each BOSS School represents a company and each company competes for product sales, customer demand, product awareness, product accessibility, product design, and their company’s financial growth.
The Project is a virtual simulation for strategic planning and goal setting designed to help students meet or exceed Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and Literacy, specifically in terms of problem solving and presentation skills.
This foundation management simulation gives a student or group of students an opportunity to compete with others worldwide for the successful operation of a business.
A team will run a $40 million company for eight years or eight rounds. Participants will compete in the production of select products or services. All companies at the beginning will be unfocused and perform poorly.
The company will be operating in two market segments, within a growing industry. The simulation will create a corporate culture of strategic planning and decision making that continually evaluates the marketing mix, with SWOT analysis.
Competitors receive a financial report for study and analysis before making the next round of decisions.
Six strategic decisions are required for each round of competition. Those decisions are Production, Research and Development, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, and Total Quality Management initiatives.
