JA Titan

Business Challenge

Imagine a business strategy tournament that uses an online business simulation—for high school students.

Student teams strategize to operate the most successful global business. Students make real economic decisions on price, production, marketing, capital investment, and research & development. Each round of competition simulates a business quarter.

Students will:

• Learn and apply how to make business decisions
• Be introduced to industry reports, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and market conditions
• Interact and learn from business leaders

Students are mentored at the 2011 California University JA Titan Business Challenge!

Unique Educational Experience

Help your students envision the possibilities of what they can be by helping them see the value of staying in school.


Educational Challenge

JA Titan is uniquely designed to unleash student creativity, test leadership skills, and demonstrate the competitive nature of the free enterprise system.


Mentorship

Teams of three students are matched with a business consultant and taught in an entertaining & engaging way about the nuances of running a global business.


Real World Simulation

JA Titan allows students to manage and operate their own virtual business and the success or failure of the company depends on the key decisions made by the students.
