You will participate in a business simulation exercise (“The Business Game”) based on the European Car Industry. The purpose of the exercise is to give you the opportunity to use the learning accumulated from previous study experience to simulate the setting up and running of a business which is competing for market share.
Before the game starts, you will be divided into teams. Each team has to set up a car manufacturing company, design two cars and sell these to the market. The teams will compete with one another for market share as part of the game.
Information on the market together with cost data will be posted on the e-learning portal. Each team should read this information carefully and use it to establish a business strategy. During the game, the teams will make decisions over a number of rounds (each round is a year in the life of the company) which will be delivered to the Chief Executive of the parent company (NBS Motor Holdings Ltd) who will analyse them. The results, in the form of a computer-generated report, will be provided to each team at the start of the next round.
The objective for each team is to maximise the market share of their company at the end of the game.
In order to complete the assessment detailed below, it is essential that each team keeps a detailed record (the Minutes) of the team meetings, including a note of the decisions made, the rationale for these decisions and their own role as a member of the team. Non-attendance at seminars will be penalised.

Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both Brazil and the United States produce each product. Brazil can produce 100,000 units of clothing per year and 50,000 cans of soda. The United States can produce 65,000 units of clothing per year and 250,000 cans of soda. Assume that costs remain constant. For this example, assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a straight line for each country because no other data points are available or provided. Include a PPF graph for each country in your paper. Chapter 5 of the Suranovic text is a good reference for this task.
Complete the following:
What would be the production possibility frontiers for Brazil and the United States?
Without trade, the United States produces AND CONSUMES 32,500 units of clothing and 125,000 cans of soda.
Without trade, Brazil produces AND CONSUMES 50,000 units of clothing and 25,000 cans of soda.
Denote these points on each COUNTRY’s production possibility frontier.
Using what you have learned and any independent research you may conduct, which product should each country specialize in, and why?
To assist in your thinking and discussion, additional questions to consider include:
What is the labor-intensive good?
What is the Marginal Rate of Transformation impact?
What is the labor-abundant country?
What is the capital-abundant country?
Could trade help reduce poverty in Brazil and other developing countries?

Economic Policy is important for growth and Development of many countries. The starkest example of what the gains and losses from policy can be comes from the varying experience of sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia in the last sixty years. Tracking Development in South-East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa indicates that the two regions with comparable levels of income per capita in the 1950s diverged in growth so rapidly. Why are there so many Asian tigers and not yet so many African lions? What could Africa learn from Southeast Asian development trajectories?
