This simulation teaches students about value chain analysis and competitive advantage. Students act as a manager at SmartShoe, a manufacturer of technology-enabled athletic footwear. To fulfill a special order from a large sports retailer, students make strategic decisions about everything from the number of shoes to produce and the quality of raw materials to shipping and delivery options, manufacturing methods, staffing, procurement, and product features.
