What people say about BOSS?

We think this is a really great opportunity for students to actually get in touch with practical knowledge. At school, during business class, we learn business but we have only theoretical lessons whereas with this competition we were able to practice our skills. We think this is very important in developing our knowledge.”

This is an amazing and useful experience. Improves understanding of risks, causal relationships.

We loved the competition, we enjoyed every second of it! We study business management and it was a very practical experience. This simulation game has helped us improve our problem solving skills and critical thinking. We worked as a team, we gained a lot of collaboration skills – when there was a problem, we always solved it together and it was fun.

Good work and real-time simulated learning environment experience.

The most interesting part of this competition was how we got to apply our business skills and knowledge in a real world context, keeping in mind how different variables could have a huge impact on our decisions. The game was really well put and well organized – it has made it really easy for us to properly analyze the factors affecting the demand.
