● What is "Management Game MG"?
In the latter half of the 1970s, when the first and second oil shocks shook the world economy, a unique employee education program called "Management Game MG" was born in a corner of Sony Co., Ltd., which is also a pioneer of venture companies. Several elite engineers and management / personnel were involved in the development. The aim was to have young employees and engineers with little interest in management acquire management knowledge and know-how, and accounting and finance skills that can be used in the field in a short period of time in a fun and effective manner.
The answer to this thought was "Management Game MG" (abbreviated as MG), whether there is a way to acquire management knowledge and a sense of counting that are directly connected to the field while realizing management as "your own thing".
● Current status of "Management Game MG"
The original "Management Game MG" is a board game in which a roulette-like game board with a diameter of about 80 cm is surrounded by six people, and each participant becomes the president of a rival company and competes for management. This method of learning management in a fun and game-like manner was highly evaluated for its high educational effect, and it has penetrated not only Sony but also companies of various industries and sizes through its educational subsidiary. To date, it has been said to be a staple of adult education, with more than 1 million participants from thousands of companies.
In addition, now that online training has become commonplace, many network-type MG "MG Online Pro interactive training" utilizing the Web are being implemented.

First of all, start a company and start management as president. The rivals are three competitors in the CPU. The flow of introducing equipment, hiring people, purchasing materials, producing, and selling while competing with rival companies is the same as "Management Game MG". The same applies to the point of strengthening competitiveness through strategic investment such as advertising and research and development in this process. Especially in the sales scene by bidding, price competition is developed just like a real battle, and it is enough to forget about myself and be drawn in. When a certain number of turns have passed in this way, the first term ends and the settlement is completed.
In normal MG, the cash flow notation book and settlement processing are basically calculated manually, but in this app, the CPU does everything. It is based on almost the same format as normal MG, and you can refer to the cash schedule during the game and the ledger by account at the time of settlement at any time, so that you can use the accounting knowledge acquired in normal MG training as it is. It has become.
The difficulty level of the game can be selected from beginner, normal, and advanced depending on the number of turns in one period, and the number of play periods can also be selected. From beginners to advanced users, you can work with peace of mind.
