Management Training
Experience our General Management simulation within a three-day in-class seminar
The program as
in-class format
We offer the MARGA Management Training as an open in-class program based on a business simulation. The participants train comprehensive management know-how and learn to think and act in a entrepreneurial manner in three intense days. In the seminar, participants primarily gain an understanding of financial reports and learn to use information from controlling for well-founded decisions. In this way, they learn to look beyond their own horizons.
The program offers a sophisticated combination of lectures as well as individual learning and teamwork. Experienced MARGA trainers run several group sessions and support the participants during their self-directed teamwork.
Learning by Doing
Divided into small teams, participants take on the management of a virtual global player in the software-based MARGA business game. They are responsible for strategic planning and all operational areas of the company (marketing, sales, production, HR, logistics, finance, etc.). The participants make decisions as a team, analyze results and compete directly against other teams. Taking current political and economic factors into account, they develop a competitive strategy. They translate this into operational decisions in their virtual company.
The primary goal is to increase the value of the company. The teams are intensively accompanied by competent MARGA trainers and supported by professional feedback. Alternating with the active simulation periods, specialist presentations on business management topics are held in the plenary session. Decision-making situations from the business game are repeatedly taken up and examined in terms of content. In-depth learning, active implementation and taking responsibility for your own decisions as an entrepreneur in a competitive environment – this is what the program offers you.

Thank you for the great business game seminar! I especially wish to thank the trainer Christoph Heinen. He thoroughly lives and embodies the subject and manages to convey the overall contents in a very light-footed and vivid manner. This turned the simulation into a particularly captivating experience for me. In short: I was fascinated!

The main benefit of the in-class seminar is for me, that feedback can be implemented directly. This accelerates the learning process.
Dr. Susanne Janssen

The most significant learning effect of the in-class business game seminar is actually not based on the best final result in the simulation. Instead it is the continuous mix of input in regard to contents and the then following transfer and utilization of the new knowledge in the course of the simulation. This results in a thorough reflection of one’s own failure and success.
