ABOUT TOPSIM – GOING GLOBAL f The management simulation depicts six economic

regions with different framework conditions. Taking

the role of the executive management of a washing

machine manufacturer, the participants initially

work in their home region only. Soon the inter-

nationalisation activities of the companies take

centre stage. In the context of this “Going Global”

process, it is initially necessary to identify and

evaluate the opportunities and risks posed by

the new markets as well as the strengths and

weaknesses of the company. Following the mar-

ket entry decision, the players are faced with the

task of developing appropriate market cultivation

strategies and implementing them in their

decisions.

TOPICS COVEREDFields: International and Strategic Management

f Corporate mission statement (vision, mission and

goals)

f Decision on expansion (market barriers, forms of

market entry and market development)

f Strategic marketing (competitor analysis, marketing

mix, product life cycles and corporate identity)

f International marketing mix

f Human resource planning, productivity and staff

turnover

f Procurement management (make-or-buy decisions,

global sourcing, delivery priorities)

f Capacity planning

f Investment planning

f Finance and accounting (cost accounting,

break-even analysis, financial planning, balance

sheets, income statements, cash flow statements and

indicator systems)

economies as financial intermediaries. Their activities

create the necessary framework for the circulation

of money, and organise lot size transformation,

maturity transformation and risk transformation.

banks are subject to the regulatory requirements of

their central banks.

The insurance sector has an increasingly important

role in modern society. By covering many risks, both

for the economy as a whole and for individuals, the

industry facilitates business and innovation. Conti-

nuing low interest rates, stricter regulatory require-

ments and the digitalisation of value chains within the

sector make this a highly dynamic market.

Understanding the core business in depth and

building a strong customer base is therefore essential.

– INSURANCEExample: choice form for liability insurance









LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR TOPSIM – INSURANCE

industry

f Develop in-depth insurance expertise

f Apply a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach

that integrates managerial accounting aspects and

considers market positioning
