The special orders page is rather tilted, as it basically allows whoever is the lowest priced producer of cameras to win them. While I find compensation is weird…. sometimes being short a few employees is a good thing.

On the other hand, New Glo-Bus does do one thing right, it shows the full amount and the INTEREST RATE on the finance screen. This is a godsend really, as I can easily determine which loans I have outstanding right on the screen itself. I don’t need to look back at the balance sheet.

Overall I still prefer the classic version of Glo-Bus that I’ve played all this time, however, I’m willing to move ahead and embrace the new version.

The post Glo-Bus Cameras and Drones appeared first on Win The BSG Online.

In anticipation of this coming Fall, I am happy to say that I have very recently rewritten my Glo-Bus guide for New Glo-Bus Cameras and Drones.

I am also planning to film a few new videos of New Glo-Bus.

One of the hardest parts of playing New Glo-Bus is doing New GB Quiz 2.

I have shown here an example question.

Which one of the following actions helps boost a company’s image rating/brand reputation?
1) Charging camera retailers an average wholesale price that is typically 10% or more below
the highest price being charged in the region
2) Making it standard practice for the company to offer all buyers of its camera and drones a
full 1-year warranty

3) Using environmentally friendly camera components and recycled materials for manuals and
packaging for the company’s action cameras
4) Paying camera/drone PAT members attractively high total annual compensation packages,
thereby enabling them to enjoy a standard of living well above the Taiwan average

5) Increasing the P/Q rating of the company’s UAV drones

1) Charging more for cameras will not increase image rating or make friends.

2) While helpful to clients, a full year warranty will not necessarily increase image rating or brand reputation.

3) Very helpful, this will in fact boost image rating, but not necessarily brand reputation.

4) Paying employees high wages will not increase image rating or brand reputation.

5) However, increasing P/Q Rating of Drones will in fact increase your brand reputation and your company’s image rating.

As of 2017, a new version of Glo-Bus has been released. It is called “New Glo-Bus Cameras and Drones”. However, it is very similar to the prior version of Glo-Bus which is currently being run concurrently.

To help have a review of what this game is about. I have attached a question from New Glo-Bus Quiz 1.

The Global Community Bank, under terms of its long-term banking agreement with the company ,has agreed to lend the company additional monies should you elect to use debt to help finance growth and other financial needs; the interest rate the GCB will charge on such loans is determined is tied to the payback period (1-year ,5-years,10-years) and to

1. How many consecutive years the company has been profitable and its interest coverage ratio
2. The company`s net profit margin
3. The company`s debt-assets ratio and gross profit margin
4. The company`s balance sheet strength
5. The company`s credit rating and the going rates of interest in world financial markets

Let’s review these answers.

1 The consecutive years is important, and so is the interest coverage ratio. So therefore, this answer is actually rather right, however it doesn’t quite nail it.

2 The company’s net profit margin for the year does have impact, however isn’t as all encompassing to judge the interest rate.

3) The debt to assets ratio is pertinent, but the gross profit less so. And still it’s not all encompassing.

4) This statement is really quite vague.

5) The company’s credit rating is the all encompassing feature that we are looking for along with the going rates of the worlds financial markets.

Answer 5 is correct!

The questions are challenging in nature, and require good knowledge of the textbook content to do well. For those who are interested in my specialized Study Aid for any one of the Chapter Quizzes or the BSG Exams, please email me.

If you need help with the game itself, we have a full guide that will help give you an edge and you can learn more about that here.

The Comprehensive Exam is arguably the most difficult exam in the BSG arsenal. No amount of memorization or understanding of financial formulas will help you. There is very limited help for the comprehensive exam because most people don’t even understand the Business Strategy Game by itself, let alone to take an exam on the intricacies of BSG at a glance.

If you need someone to talk to in regards to this exam of what you can expect or how to prepare, feel free to email me at my website here.

In the meantime, you can think upon this sample question.

In determining whether It is economically advisable to invest $3.5 million per million pairs of capacity for a plant facilities upgrade that will boost labor productivity by 25%, it is accurate to say that the resulting drop in labor costs per pair produced
1.  will be $0.15 (from $0. 75 to $0.60) at a plant where total annual compensation per employee is currently $3,000 and labor productivity is 4,000 pairs per worker-the labor cost reduction would be a far larger $1.20 per pair at a plant where total annual compensation per employee is currently $24,000 and labor productivity is 4,000 pairs per worker.
2.  will be the same for all of the company’s plants because the gains in labor productivity are 25% irrespective of what other differences In labor-related conditions may exist.
3. will be greater for Asia-Pacific plants with 8-milllon pairs of capacity than for Asia-Pacific plants with 4-million pairs of capacity.
4. will be greatest at plants where total annual compensation is comparatively low and labor productivity is comparatively high.
5. will be smallest at plants where total annual compensation is comparatively high and labor productivity is also comparatively high.

Glo-Bus Quiz 2 is a lot harder than Glo-Bus Quiz 1, and it’s not uncommon for students to fail this quiz or get really low marks. The game uses its own defining terms for some of it’s references, which even confused me at times. I plan to expand this page in time, but I wanted to have something up so people know have an idea of where this is going.

The post Glo-Bus Quiz 2 Formulas appeared first on Win The BSG Online.

To help students learn in the most effective, efficient, and meaningful way possible with real world application. The strategies that I utilize will positively impact all those who come to me for help, whether it be at the beginning, middle or the end of their game. In this endeavor, I am the most accomplished BSG/Glo-Bus player in the world with years of experience, and possess a solid business foundation of strategic management.

Even before I became a Grand Champion, I had someone come to me asking me for help. It was an elderly lady (well she was 44, and I was 20) who was struggling with the game and  saw potential in me for help. At the time, I had already proven to have won the game once before, and I helped her because I thought she was a kind person.  After successively improving her company, she said to me that I had a gift and that I should use it to help people. In thanks for helping her, she gave me money to buy the new expansion of World of Warcraft (this was years ago when it was big), and I was extremely grateful.

Since this time I have made it my mission to help students who find this game difficult or just don’t have time. The strategies that I suggest are practical and have real world application. I am reinforcing concepts that are being talked about in class.

In the real world, when someone doesn’t know something. They ask someone who does, whether it be an accountant, lawyer, a doctor, etc. A business owner who is suffering, would only be smart to use a business consultant or read more about the industry they are attempting to operate in. In real life, it’s smart to ask an expert.

Living in the 21st century, we live in an information age where everyone is connected. It’s easy to make friends in different parts of the world and that what I’ve done by helping students.

I’m a student like yourself trying to get passed my classes and starting up my career. If you choose to reach out to me by buying my guide or asking me to review your game. Consider me as a friend, and I’ll help you just as I helped many before.
