In the market, you ''have to'' compete.

Still, of course, you will always have to be competitive and distinguish yourself from the competitors. So a fair amount of creativity is always needed. <br>

GAME PLAY

Competitions

In the game, there are two types of competition:

  • Competition on net profit: your entrepreneurial achievement, reflected in net profit, added up over the years.
  • Competition on creativity: based on how your creativity is assessed by your coach. The more points you get, the higher your hotel's rank in this competition.

Do you have to compete in the game?

In the market, you have to compete. Every team will always automatically participate in both competitions (on profit and on creativity): it is up to you if you consider these as a specific goal for your team. Of course, a competition is fun, but some teams choose to run their hotel in a proper way without caring too much about the competitions, which is just fine. Still, of course, you will always have to be competitive and distinguish yourself from the competitors. So a fair amount of creativity is always needed.
You can finish the management game with good results without winning any competition as long as you meet the requirements we have set for the game. And you can do very well on the game and have a beautiful hotel, a good strategy and a lovely logo etc. and still not be in the top three of your competition and city. So a good ranking contributes to your final mark, but a bad ranking doesn't have to be bad news for your evaluation at all. Your evaluation of the total of the game depends on much more than just the ranking: the most important thing is consistency and living up to your strategy.

But if you are really into competing on creativity, you can do this be trying to be innovative and creative. But don't forget, as stated before: your main task is to keep (make) the hotel financially healthy and to keep it independent anyway.

Competition on creativity

The competition on creativity means that a ranking is made every operational year per city. Of course, you are not alone! If all teams are very creative, you have to be even more creative to be outstanding and to attract the customer in this way (see the page on competition)! We look at the score per week - year, and there is an overalls core until any week. So all creativity points a hotel gets, added up.

How to be creative?

You can be creative, innovative and can explain this to your coach in the explanation which you give on your assignments - decisions each year. Each week - year there is a special focus on just one element. So what can you do to support this?

Activities on the platform and on your schedule

  • It all starts with your strategy, name, and logo etc.
  • Assignments like your booth and activities on the Trade Fair.

The Hotel itself
Innovations in and on the product, the distribution etc.

Activities live'

  • Other activities created by yourself

Social media
Creativity on the web and social media offers all kind of opportunities

Overall winners on creativity of this game

In the game, there is no interaction between the cities. Only at the end of the game, a ranking will be made of all participating hotels in all cities. Then, there will be one overall winner:

  • on net profit: the team with the highest profits reserve after all of the operational years.
  • on creativity: the most creative team after all of the operational years.
