Competition on creativity
Competition on creativity
In the game, there are two types of competition:
- Competition on net profit: based on added-up net profit
- Competition on creativity: based on how your creativity is assessed by your coach. You will get a higher rank in this competition by being innovative and creative.
Do we 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 we have set for the 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 a good ranking contributes to your 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 much more than just the ranking: the most important thing is consistency and living up to your strategy.
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 operational year in all of the cities. 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)!
