Ever played Settlers of Catan? Now imagine that on a grand scale, with real negotiations, time pressure and strategic dilemmas. The World Trade Game is a legendary management training, originally developed by the Institute of Social Studies under supervision of Nobel Prize winner prof. dr. Jan Tinbergen.
In 3 rounds your team works on the economic growth of your country. Close trade agreements, make investments and negotiate with other nations. After each round you get your scores back, so you immediately see the impact of your decisions. Not every country starts with the same resources, so creativity and cooperation are essential. Drinks are available at the bar for just 2.50 each.
