What Praxar is
Praxar provides web-based interactive business simulations for college and university teaching. Its business simulation puts students in charge of a simulated manufacturing SME, with decisions across marketing, production, human resources, and finance. Students can participate individually or in teams, in groups of 5 to 500. Other simulations cover the accounting cycle and financial accounting; the accounting cycle activity is designed for 4 to 10 hours of individual learning and also supports groups of 5 to 500. Instructors have a portal with a calendar, customizable assessments, automatic marking, and results analysis tools. Néo answers students’ questions about the simulation in real time and supports classroom integration. Classes can use the simulations in person, virtually, or in a blended format, over several weeks or intensively. The Introduction to Business eCoursebook+ has 15 interactive chapters and is designed to connect with the Kayak Business Simulation. Business simulation products are free for qualified instructors, while students usually pay individually for a license.
