Sequence

In an half-hour online warm-up the participants receive initial basic information and an introduction to the "Online Course Financial Basics" about two weeks before the start of the program.  

For four weeks, the participants take part in web conferences on Tuesdays at predetermined times. These are carried out by experienced MARGA experts. The webinars on several management topics relating to the content in the business simulation are recorded and can also be called up at a later date.

Between these modules, the participants work together in virtual teamwork and make decisions for their business simulation company by the next submission deadline. A web-based final with a transfer workshop, comprehensive feedback and an award ceremony rounds off the program.

The MARGA Online Training is a great example of learning by doing. Through this program, we have learnt the importance of strategic thinking in business. MARGA provided us the chance to simulate how different approaches can influence the success of business
