Teaching Marketing and Consumer Behavior with GoVenture Marketing Simulations
GoVenture Marketing simulations are perfect for allowing students to directly experience the various aspects of sales, marketing, and consumer behavior.
GoVenture engages students in a personal way by having them run their own businesses while making sales and marketing decisions. This approach is much more effective than basic exercises and case studies that have students read about third-party businesses.
There are three GoVenture simulations that address specific aspects of sales, marketing, and consumer behavior and a fourth simulation that is focused exclusively on digital marketing.
