Teaching Business Information Systems (BIS) and Business Analytics (BA) with GoVenture Simulations
GoVenture business simulations provide practical experience for students to better understand four important concepts related to Business Information Systems (BIS) and Business Analytics (BA):
-
Identifying business data that is useful in business.
-
Interpreting business data.
-
How to best display business data.
-
How to use business data for competitive advantage.
Like most business concepts, these are not difficult to understand individually (no complex formulas needed), but intuitively understanding them in a way that is meaningful in the real world is a challenge.
Business simulations help students directly experience the concepts in a real-world context.
​
There are two GoVenture simulations that are best suited for BIS and BA and overall Data Analytics:
