ABOUT THE SIMULATION

Students work through a series of realistic ethical dilemmas and see their choices plotted on a two-axis map: profit vs principle and shareholder vs stakeholder. The simulation can be played solo or used in classroom mode. Each decision asks students to weigh short-term gains against trust, staff, customers, suppliers and wider responsibilities, making ethical trade-offs clear and memorable.
