As managers of the company, the teams have to make decisions on various strategic issues concerning finance, marketing, HR and investments, keeping in mind issues such as return on investment, profitability, customer and employee satisfaction.

The FMCGame is open for participation to all students enrolled at the University of Pécs. The simulation runs both in Hungarian and in English, allowing students of the English language programmes to compete with their Hungarian fellow students.

Qualifiers: participating teams will be drawn into virtual markets, where teams in the same market will compete against each other.

All market winners will definitely advance to the simulation final or to the final presentation.

Simulation final: the winning teams of the markets will automatically get into the final presentation of 5 teams; also, teams in position 2 can get there, depending on the number of qualifiers. Teams at position 2 will be ranked depending on their relative scores, i.e. how close they are to the first place in their market.

Final presentation: the 5 finalist teams from the simulation will have the opportunity to present their strategy, where the winners will be announced based on the assessment of the professional jury, made up from corporate experts and the results of the simulation.
