Negotiation Game

In this simulation, each player represents a shipping company. The challenge is to obtain the greatest savings by forming alliances between one or more players. Once an alliance is established, the companies must negotiate how to distribute the savings and reach an agreement before the time elapses.

COURSES IN WHICH THE NEGOTIATION GAME IS USED:

Operations Management, Logistics & Negotiation

The simulation consists of 3 stages, each with a higher level of complexity. Students will have to make two decisions at each stage: with whom to form an alliance and how to distribute the savings from the alliance.

"Working with the GameLab simulator is a great exercise and challenge for me as a teacher, since it allows to develop concepts in a playful way, making classes more entertaining. The most important thing is that it improves the interpretation and assimilation of knowledge of the students because it makes ideas tangible from life experiences. In addition, the GameLab team provides strong remote support in sync with the class, which ensures the success of the model."

"The deeper we went into the simulation the more competitive everyone became. It somehow became a challenge, especially every time the administrator showed the current results. Everybody was focused and every decision was discussed spiritedly in the groups."

“The support provided is top-notch and is much appreciated. After having you help me these past few rounds, I feel confident I can do it on my own.”
