Congratulations to the Capstone Philosophers, a team of students from the BUS490 School of Business Capstone class, for achieving a Global Top 10 ranking in the GLO-BUS Simulation for two consecutive weeks! Competing against 2,994 teams from approximately 150 universities worldwide, they secured the #9 spot for Overall Game-to-Date Score.
Naomi Earl-Reyes, Britton Adams, Jaylen Mack, and Niko Sotra demonstrated exceptional business acumen in managing a virtual digital camera company. Their success required strategic decision-making across R&D, marketing, production, finance, and more to outperform competitors in a simulated global market.
"Achieving a Global Top 10 ranking in a competition of this scale is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and innovative thinking of our students," said President Dr. Harder. "Their ability to excel in such a challenging, real-world simulation speaks volumes about the quality of our business education program and the bright futures that await these talented individuals."
GLO-BUS is an online business strategy game that mirrors the operations of real-world digital camera companies. Students collaborate as co-managers, navigating challenges in a competitive global marketplace spanning four regions: Europe-Africa, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Success is measured by key financial and market performance metrics, providing participants with hands-on experience in strategic decision-making.
This remarkable achievement highlights the skill, dedication, and collaborative spirit of Coker’s future business leaders.
