ABOUT THE SIMULATION

Students manage Off The Rails, an independent fashion retailer, during the intense Christmas trading period. Founder Maz Lowe offers advice as the manager tries to keep a tired team motivated. Each week, students choose ways to support staff, improve morale and maintain performance, linking financial and non-financial rewards to practical workplace pressures.
