This is an event held by Accounting Society, with the collaboration of Career Development Club. In the early of 9am, the helpers from each society are all ready to work out and the prizes lying down on the table waiting for the winner to grab it home.

     What is CIMA Business Game? It is a game of decision making, including multi-skills and strategic thinking in pursuit the highest profit among all participating team. This 4 hours game is divided into 7 parts, namely 4 quarters of business challenges and 3 special challenges.

     The game starts by all 8 teams forming their group. They divide the 4 members into different position and give the company an identical name. In today game, they are going to set up a pizza business. Next, they are given full information of the business and participants are going to make their first decision, which is bidding for a business site. Decision is written on an answer sheet and results are provided by a computerized analyzing program. When each team gets their business site, there goes the business challenge!

     In the first quarter of business challenges, the decisions made covered the price and quality of product, advertising, salary of worker and market research. Every value decided will highly affect the final profit, based on the computerized calculation. In order to increase the fun of the game, at the end of each quarter, only the highest profit will be written on the board anonymously. Hence, only the group with the highest profit knows that is their figure while the other knows their distance from the highest profit. Same concept goes to the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th quarter, however more complicated situations are provided to increase the difficulties of the game.

     In order to obtain result for each business challenge quarter, a short period will be occupied for data key in and result printing. However, we do not let participants wait the result freely. To ensure the time is fully utilized, we have organized special challenges. A successful businessman does not rely on his entrepreneurship only, it required creativity and innovation too. We have poster designing competition, pizza box making competition and jingle competition. Under the cheer and laughter we observe participants’ drawing talent and funniest jingle ever heard.

     The game ends at 1.35pm. The highest profit team outstand other team with a total profit of 91 thousands dollar. All winners of business challenges and special challenges received attractive prizes from CIMA and organizing society. At the end of event, participants share their experiences and outcomes from this meaningful game. The game ends with the gift giving to CIMA as a token of appreciation. Without CIMA, the game would not accomplished successfully.
