The Retail Game
Disclaimer
Welcome
The Retail Game has been designed as a teaching aid
for students of retailing. It has been created by John Pal and Mark
Stubbs of Manchester Metropolitan University's Business School.
Introduction
The game is made up of a series of decisions
you have to make. Chimber is a fictional place and the company that
you work for, FashCo, is also fictional. In order to design this game
and to make it usable it has been necessary to simplify some of the
exercises. The way that you will benefit from the tasks is by trying
them and, most importantly, reflecting on the results. The tasks are
shown in the task bar at the top of every page. A tick will appear when
you are working on each set of grouped pages and decisions. You can
go back to decisions and have another go at them by pressing the "<<
Prev" button at the top left hand corner of every page. Likewise
you can go forward through pages by pressing the ">> Next"
button at the top right of each page. If you haven't completed a decision
when requested to do so then a message box will pop-up informing you
about this, and you will not be permitted to move to the next page.
