What is GLO-BUS?
GLO-BUS is a fully-automated exercise used in the capstone business simulation class - BUS4098 taught during the entire 11 week class period. Students were divided into teams and assigned a digital camera company in head-to-head competition against companies run by other class members around the world. Company operations paralleled those of actual digital camera companies. Just like Kodak, Canon, Fuji, Nikon, and other real-world camera companies, GLO-BUS companies compete in a global market arena, selling digital cameras in four geographic regions-Europe-Africa, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
