In the introduction week part of the time is devoted to a CIO management simulation. This gives the students insight in how companies deal with several aspects of management with a particular focus on the Chief Information Officer in relation to all other functional areas. Students are divided in teams, and are required to set-up a company and make decisions in the area of e.g. marketing, manufacturing/operations, finances, logistics and more. The game appeals to entrepreneurial skills; students will have a very wide range of possibilities at their disposal. During a number of decision rounds (or quarters), students will have to consider a large number of issues and options simultaneously under circumstances of complexity, uncertainty and time-pressure.
