Computer simulator
«Universities World Rankings»
The Universities World Rankings computer simulator was developed by the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO together with a team of developers specialising in computer simulations at simulizator.com.
In the Universities World Rankings simulator, participants take on the role of a rector in major Russian universities. They have to transform the key processes at their university in order to be ranked in the top 100 universities globally. The in-game rating consists of five groups of statistical indicators that reflect key aspects of the global competitiveness of a university. The winner is the team that ranks highest.
Target audience
The simulator is designed for university staff (unit managers, their deputies, and front-line employees). It might also be interesting and useful for project teams at universities involved in transformational processes inside their educational institutions.
Description of the simulator
Players run a virtual university, with simulations of all the main activities of a university and the links between these activities. Success in the simulation is based on managerial decision-making, which requires participants to get a sense of the big picture of their university's activity.
Participants must make decisions on university activities such as: science and innovation, educational policy, infrastructure and HR management, work with partner universities, marketing, international activity, management systems, finance, etc.
Main simulator parameters:
6
teams
up to 150
concurrent players
6
game periods
250
key decisions
~ 1000
performance indicators
13
facets of management
19
game interfaces
By taking part in the simulation, participants master the competencies needed to:
- ▌ build a management model for their university with the aim of entering global rankings (strategy development, strategic decision-making, and tactical planning);
- ▌ manage research activity and innovations;
- ▌ build ‘human capital’ at the university and master tools to manage the faculty structure;
- ▌ plan and manage university resources (facilities and equipment, campus, etc.);
- ▌ manage university finances (budgeting, sourcing government funds, sourcing off-budgetary funds from educational services, endowments, etc.).
The participants will also practise their management skills: teamwork, ability to analyse a situation fast and take decisions given limited time and resources, and ability to respond to unexpected external situations.
Additional materials
The computer simulation is accompanied by information materials and instructions:
- A presentation to get you started;
- Videos explaining the interfaces;
- Presentations to be discussed by the group as a whole;
- Software set-up instructions.
