The document announces a webinar for educators on how to teach with business simulation games. The webinar agenda includes discussing cultural and technology trends in education, an overview of simulation games as learning tools, and best practices for teaching with Cesim business simulations. John Greene will provide inputs on integrating simulations into courses, using them to bring theory to life, explaining and practicing simulations in computer labs, crosslinking courses, group work strategies, and assessment methods.

23. 2.2 PEST Note: The Pest analysis shows that macroeconomic factors related to the construction of plants in Asia will be essential for the success of "Team Green". The factors being macroeconomic make them external to the company and largely uncontrollable l. Therefore, there is a considerable amount of risk investing in plants in Asia, but the gains are substantial. An in-depth look at the crucial issues is to be found in appendix A. POLITCAL ECONOMICAL SOCIAL TECHNOLOGICAL Company Taxation is high in the EU. Will continue to be so Cheaper production cost in the Asian markets, logistic challenges though Increased demand for new solutions and marketing in EU and US market Need for development of new solutions, which likely will lead to price competition Instability in Asian markets, unrest, domestic disputes Economies recovering from reccesion Price-focused customers in the Asian market Raw materials affect the price of new techs Friction between countries: e.g. Sino-American relations. Likely escalation Increased competition will lead to a slash in prices Buying power stronger in the West, than China Worrying result of test group trying out tech 2 Legislation protecting workers or raising production cost in the future Euro is expected to still fall compared to a basket of other currencies Appreciating Yuan will increase Chinese buying power Higher profit margin from newly developed products Increased employment figures for the coming years
