Virtual Business A (Virtual Enterprise) (Period 2)

A Virtual Enterprise is a simulated business that is set up and run by students to prepare them for working in a real business environment. With the guidance of a teacher (“consultant/coordinator”), and real-world business partners, the students determine the nature of their business, its products and services, its management and structure and engage in the daily operations of running a business. Emphasis is placed on using current business software, communications, and the Internet for business transactions. The Virtual Enterprise Program has the added advantage of linking students in a global business network. This simulation takes the teacher outside of the traditional instructional paradigm and then places the students on the front lines of the business world.
