Top 100 Performances in Strategy

TEXAS WESLEYAN STUDENTS EARN GLOBAL TOP 100 RANKING

Texas Wesleyan business students are being recognized for their real-world business savvy. For his Strategic Management classes, Sameer Vaidya, associate dean of the School of Business, uses an online business strategy simulation in which teams of students compete with each other and students worldwide while running their own footwear company. The online simulation compiles lists of the prior week's best-performing companies worldwide based on each of four measures: overall score, earnings per share, return on average equity, and stock price. Three of Vaidya’s teams have ranked in the Global Top 100 Performances during the month of March. More than 3,800 teams from 215 colleges and universities compete each week.

The student teams are responsible for all facets of their organization including strategic planning, tactical planning, staffing, organizing, marketing, and research and development. They input their decisions on the simulation web site every week and are graded on the quality of their decisions and on the functional merit of their decisions relative to the other teams.
