Our all-in-one strategic management simulation is built on our proven Business case — and carries a full strategy course on top, from PESTEL and SWOT to the BCG matrix, all tied to a live competitive market. It's experiential learning that fits any course — and ends with job-ready skills.
Students take over as the management team of a jetpack manufacturer — the same proven case thousands of students have run in Hubro Business — now with a full strategic management layer on top. They'll build skills as they analyze the market with real frameworks, make the classic strategy calls and watch equity reveal whose strategy actually worked.
Strategic decision-making
Make strategy calls under uncertainty
Every quarter serves the decisions strategy courses are about: which markets to enter, whether to build factories or outsource to contract manufacturers, whether to invest in new product categories or in process improvements — and whether to take on debt to fund it all.
Weigh market entry, make-or-buy and portfolio bets in one connected case.
Fund growth with debt and live with the interest.
Strategic analysis with real frameworks
Apply PESTEL, SWOT and the BCG matrix for real
The frameworks aren't a lecture slide here — they're assignments. Students run strategic market analyses with PESTEL, SWOT and the BCG matrix on a market that's actually moving, then act on what they found.
Analyze a live market, not a static case study.
Turn the analysis into next quarter's strategy — and see if it holds.
Plus four more skills they build along the way
Strategy meets the numbers
See how strategy, goals and plans intersect — and how every strategic call lands in profitability and cash flow.
Investment analysis
Run the classic make-or-buy: owned factories versus contract manufacturers, with the cost structures to prove it.
Budgeting and product calculations
Manage the product mix, set budgets and price with product calculations behind every call.
Ethics decisions
Face special decisions related to ethics — where the strategic answer and the right answer can pull apart.
If you want your students to be able to apply theories in their future jobs, Hubro is the one, I found so far, to make a virtual business environment that is quite close to the real world.

Inside the simulation
Just like the tools strategists use at work
Underneath is the Hubro Business case educators already trust — forecasts, R&D, production, contracts, budgets and financing. On top sits the strategy course: PESTEL, SWOT and BCG matrix analyses, written strategy exercises and market-altering events that test whether the plan survives contact with competitors.
