The Board Simulation program, designed by the Governance & Transparency Committee, returns to the Corvinus University of Budapest on May 2. The simulation will take the audience to a board meeting of the fictional ABC Nyrt, a publicly held Hungarian company, one of the top producers and distributors of bio-fuel, who are looking to expand. The board members will look at various strategic moves to improve ABC’s market position. However, a number of factors - conflict of interest, whistleblowers, etc. - will complicate the discussion.
About the Board Simulation program
The Board Simulation educational program serves as an important pillar of engagement between AmCham and academia. A scripted role-playing simulation of an fictious board meeting is enacted by AmCham member volunteers, who draw upon their own experiences. Real business debates are enacted concentrating on various critical strategic decisions.
The audience watches how these decisions are influenced by various facts, personalities, and circumstances, and how potential consequences are considered. Corporate governance best practices are discussed. Students experience firsthand how a typical board meeting transpires. The topics discussed at the meeting are designed in a multi-layered practical manner. Studies for undergraduate and graduate students are supplemented. Discussions are playacted with deliberate intensity when sensitive issues and difficult decisions are discussed.
