GLO-BUS

What GLO-BUS is

GLO-BUS is an online team exercise where students compete to run companies selling wearable video cameras and camera-equipped copter drones. Teams make decisions across Europe-Africa, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, covering research and development, products, production, compensation, outsourcing, pricing, marketing, finance, and corporate social responsibility. Period reports show the results and explain their numbers and graphics. The simulation lists built-in voice chat, shared-screen collaboration, quizzes, peer evaluations, a performance scoreboard, and an automated gradebook. Students need an instructor-provided company registration code, and registration lasts until the course ends. Access requires an internet-connected computer or device with an HTML5-capable browser; Canvas is the only supported LMS integration listed. The Simulation-Only Option costs $44.95, paid once per student and includes full simulation features and instructor access to materials. The ValuePak Option costs $99.95, paid once per student and adds an e-textbook; optional cases cost extra. The platform reports student logins, quiz and exam scores, peer evaluations, and company performance to instructors or game administrators.
