Module 11-12: Management of a Telecom project, choice of investment and profitability: a simulation game

A complete simulation game using the example of a cable network and/or satellite system project may be proposed. This simulation game will give an understanding of the decision-making process involved in selecting technology in the telecommunications sector. It will also impart the capability to apply essential management criteria such as net present value, internal rate of return… The exercise will also deal with pricing principles in the sector. In addition, all accounting and financial criteria related with the profitability of a project will be reviewed through an exercise based on an Internet investment.
