Tip:
Check Total market demands in Decision - Demand
Then calculate demands for each product in each market region
------
WINNING TIP 11
For Rounds 1-2-3 produce Tech 1 and Tech 2
Tech 1 - Low Price ($350), low feature, focus on Volume
Tech 2 - High Price ($450), max feature (8-10)
Start R&D for Tech 3 and 4
And increase Production capacity gradually
Check Price and Sold units in each market
RESULT - Market reports (this is very important to calculate next round DEMANDS)
KEY TO GET GOOD SALES AND PROFIT
AGAIN, SOLD UNIT AND PRICES OF LAST ROUND IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CALCULATE SALES FORECAST AND SETTING PRICES FOR NEXT ROUND
CHECK THIS CAREFULLY FROM RESULT - MARKET REPORTS (IN YOUR GAME, FOR EACH REGION, USA, ASIA AND EUROPE)
IF YOU READ AND DO THIS TIP WELL, WIN 50% OF THE GAME ALREADY!
------
WINNING TIP 12
Check Result for Production and Demand
Out source to product more (check cost of production)
Round 2 should increase Feature for Tech 2
Keep track of Price (Price War may begin from Round 2)
CALCULATE DEMANDS FOR NEXT ROUNDS
THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT TO GAIN GOOD SALES AND PROFIT
Tip
Adjust the percentage to get expected sales units
Note that expected sales units come from Market Reports (see tip 11)
Do not expect too high sales, if that happens, will be deduct 10% from profit.
------
WINNING TIP 13
Keep track of Demand
Do not over produce
Do not dump Price too much
Profit is important
CHECK BOTH TABLE
- PRODUCTION
- LOGISTICS
To control Inventory and Production Plan.
------
WINNING TIP 14
Round 4 may also have Price War (competitors dump prices hope to sell more)
Keep track of Demands and Unit sold from Report
Estimate demand carefully
Move to New Tech 3 and 4
To get higher profit margins
Old products can not get good sales and profit margins
Move to Tech 4 (round 3)
and then Move to Tech 3 (round 4)
Depends on Demands
Tech 3 and Tech 4 set prices higher, can plus 20% for Tech 3 and Tech 4
------
WINNING TIP 15
Round 5-7 run all 4 products
or
Round 1-2 use Tech 1 and Tech 2
Round 3-4-5 use Tech 1 and Tech 2 and Tech 3
Round 6-7-8 use Tech 3 and 4 and Tech 1, Tech 2
------
WINNING TIP 16
Tech 3 and Tech 4 can drive Profit in later rounds
- Analyse market demands and outlook
- Check launching chart of Tech 1, Tech 2, Tech 3 and Tech 4 for 10 rounds
- Estimate demands
- Production Plan
- Determine R&D (check competitors)
- Check Logistics Cost and Tax
------
WINNING TIP 17
Market Growth
USA - EU - Asia
Round 1: 20% - 10% - 30%
Round 2: 10% - 5% - 20%
Round 3: 8% - (-8%) - 8%
Round 4: (-5%) - 0% - (-7%)
Round 5: 20% - 15% - over 40%
Round 6: 20% - 15% - over 30%
Round 7
Round 8
------
WINNING TIP 18
Sales in USA, Asia and EU
R&D in Atlanta (USA)
Plants in USA and new in Asia (not in EU because of labor laws)
Also subcontracts for Production and R&D
------
WINNING TIP 19
Just in Time - therefore no Inventory
Production cost down cost 5-10%
Marketing spend: 3-5% of Sales
R&D spend: 10% of Sales
------
WINNING TIP 20
Advertising
- Good effect in USA
Prices
- Good effect in Asia
Production
- In USA and Asia
- No in EU because of high labor cost
------
WINNING TIP 21
Need one round for own development
License purchase available immediately
------
WINNING TIP 22
Production in 2 regions: USA and Asia
Products in each region: 2 only (only 2 production lines in one area)
In USA can produce max 2 technologies
In Asia can produce max 2 technologies
At any time, max technologies can produce is 4 (Tech 1, Tech 2, Tech 3 and Tech 4)
------
WINNING TIP 23
Application of JIT causes no inventory
If estimate Production higher than demands, auto production down, cost 5-10% additional cost
If estimate Production lower then demands, NO auto increase, lost potential sales
------
WINNING TIP 24
Estimate Total market demands is always the FIRST Step
And most important
------
WINNING TIP 25
Each area can produce 2 Technologies
It has 2 product slots to decide which Tech to produce
------
WINNING TIP 26
For Production
- Keep track of Production cost for each Technology
- Also keep track of Production cost when Outsourcing
------
WINNING TIP 27
- Lowest cost when using 80% production capacity
- New Capacity will be available after 2 ROUNDS, so Invest early
------
WINNING TIP 28
Check cost of production for each Market
------
WINNING TIP 29
Check projection for Estimated Sales and Profit
------
WINNING TIP 30
Long term strategy
Keep track of production capacity of competitors
Profit is more important than Sales
Again, high profit and high sales is more important that top sales

1. Review Competitive Stance
After every round, look at how your team is doing under the Results tab.
How is your market share in the different markets? Is your team performing well in relative to the strategy laid out?
Check your pricing against other team under Results > Market Report. Are you priced competitively in the different markets? Should you invest in features, and in which tech?
This is also where you find out the reasons behind your team’s performance for the round.
Take down notes after your discussion with your team. The analysis will aid in guiding your decisions.
Now, it is time to align your decisions with your analysis. Starting with....
2. Set Market Demands
Go under Decisions > Demand. In CESIM, your sales will be determined by the demand you set. Other than reviewing your team’s analysis of the situation, look at the network coverage. Does the tech you’re planning to sell have coverage in all the markets? If not, should you still sell? How much?
Another measurement you should look at is your market share from the last round. Is it realistic to increase market share? By how much?
3. Production
After you’ve set your demands, it’s time to adjust your production! First, go to Investments.
Make sure your numbers are updated. Then, go back to Production. Play around with both in-house and contract manufacturing to achieve the lowest cost of production per unit. Inhouse manufacturing does not necessarily lead to the cheapest manufacturing cost, and minimizing cost is one of the good ways in increasing your profit!
When it comes to building new plants, remember that you will need 2 rounds before the factories are available. Hence, do it ASAP and early in the project/semester! This is under Investments.
4. Invest in R&D
This is one of the most important aspect of the project. Having more features in a tech can help you gain a competitive advantage = more sales! This is the R&D section of Decisions.
You should have decisions on tech and features as part of your analysis in Step 1. Now, you and your team have another decision to make: Do you want the feature now, or can you wait? If you can wait till the next round, it will be cheaper to develop it in-house. If your team needs it this round to gain a competitive edge, then you’d have to spend more to license it.
5. Marketing
After you have decided on your tech and features, go on to Marketing. A good habit to have is to update all the features you are selling in every market. Make sure that the features you are selling matches the features available.
Then, set the prices according to your team’s analysis. Your promotion price should change accordingly to Professor’s notes.
6. Logistics
As part of minimizing costs, go on to Logistics to adjust the direction in which your products ship in case of maximum capacity. Depending on your strategy for the game, ie. What tech are you selling, where did you make them, and which markets are you targeting, you might want to make adjustments to the direction of your goods. You can only have factories in USA and Asia, so your origin is always from those points. Setting an efficient direction of product flow can help in reducing the shipment costs and fulfil demand.
7. Other Advice
Based on the author’s experience, it is best for the team members to each go through and make individual decisions before coming together and then discuss. Look at who’s profit is the highest, where their decision differ from the rest of the team, and then decide if your team wants to adopt the member’s decision wholly, or adapt it into a different list of decisions that reap the most benefits.
Remember:
Your grade is not based on which team has the highest profit, but your individual shareholder return under Results > Ratio. Hence, your focus should not be whether other teams are doing better or worse than yours but if your shareholder return is high. The only competition comes in terms of gaining more market share and not outselling the others. Refer to your professor’s grading criteria for more details.
