Competitions
In the game, there are two types of competition:
- Competition on net profit: your entrepreneurial achievement, reflected in net profit, added up over the years.
- Competition on creativity: based on how your creativity is assessed by your coach. The more creativity points you get, the higher your hotel's rank in this competition.
In the market, there is also fierce competition, check out how to handle this on the page competition.
How is the ranking done?
Your coach each round evaluates your creativity assignment: the average of this mark decides on your ranking in the creativity competition. The entrepreneurial mark doesn't effect the creativity competition, and the creativity mark doesn't effect the entrepreneurial competition. The effect of both on your course-credit points etc. is to be found in your Game.
Do you have to compete in the game?
In the market, you have to compete. Every team will always automatically participate in both competitions (on profit and on creativity): it is up to you if you consider these as a specific goal for your team. Of course, a competition is fun, but some teams choose to run their hotel in a proper way without caring too much about the competitions, which is just fine. Still, of course, you will always have to be competitive and distinguish yourself from the competitors. So a fair amount of creativity is always needed.
You can finish the management game with good results without winning any competition as long as you meet the requirements set for your Game. And you can do very well on the game and have a beautiful hotel, a good strategy and a lovely logo etc. and still not be in the top three of your competition and city. So high quality of your assignments contributes to your ranking and final mark, but a bad ranking doesn't have to be bad news for your evaluation at all. Your evaluation of the total of the game depends on your assignments: an important thing in this is consistency and living up to your strategy. This is evaluated by the marks you get for the assignments.
But if you are really into competing on creativity, you can do this be trying to be innovative and creative. But don't forget, as stated before: your main task is to keep (make) the hotel financially healthy and to keep it independent anyway.
Competition on creativity
The competition on creativity means that a ranking is made every round-year per city. Of course, you are not alone! If all teams are very creative, you have to be even more creative to be outstanding and to attract the customer in this way (see the page on competition)! We look at the score per round-year, and there is an overall score as an average over all of the rounds-years.
How to be creative?
You can be creative, innovative and can explain this to your coach in the explanation which you give on your assignments - decisions. Each round-year there is a special focus in your assignment.
So what can you do to support this?
Activities on the platform and maybe in your schedule
- It all starts with your strategy, name, and logo etc.
- Doing the creativity Assignments (depending on your Game, a Trade Fair, 3 minutes of fame e.g.)
- The Hotel itself: the venues: innovations in and on the product, the distribution etc.
- Activities live: other activities created by yourself
- Social media: creativity on the web and social media offers all kind of opportunities
Though, as explained, keep focused on your assignments.
Overall winners on creativity of this game
In the game, there is no interaction between the cities. Only at the end of the game, a ranking will be made of all participating hotels in all cities. Then, there will be one overall winner:
- on net profit: the team with the highest profits reserve after all of the operational years ('total of the years').
- on creativity: the highest average in creativity after all of the operational years ('after all of the years').
