Program 2 allows teams of 4-10 students to take over an established Retail Consumer Electronics company for 8 quarters and compete against other teams locally, nationally or internationally to improve the company's performance.

The Retail Simulation models a small proprietor owned business. An algorithm will assess each company's performance having regard to profit, market share, turnover and growth. This value will be expressed numerically and the company with the highest number will be determined the winner.
