B.C. college’s business students compete

F our Douglas College students recently competed in the third annual
B.C. College’s Business Student Competition in Richmond. Led by Busi-
ness instructor Patrick Brown, the four students — Paul Rankin, Michelle
Lowry, Nancy Turner and Rob Woods — took part in a very realistic com-
puter-driven business simulation called "Corporation" (published by Pren-

tice-Hall).

"We didn’t win first prize," said Brown, "but it was a wonderful oppor-

tunity for the students involved."

At the beginning of the annual competition, student teams are given
identical corporations in the computer industry, which they must manage.
They make decisions about expansion, manufacturing, marketing and
finance. Teams can also buy and sell assets from their competitors and start
new ventures to improve their performance.

By the third day of the competition, teams have managed their company
through six years of high pressure head-to-head competition. Their perfor-
mance was then assessed by judges from B.C.’s leading corporations and or-
ganizations. Top teams and top individuals were awarded scholarships,
computers, computer printers and computer software.

The B.C. Colleges Business Student Competition is sponsored by cor-
porations, professional associations and government agencies including the
Ministry of Advanced Education, Training and Technology, the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of B.C., Vtech Computers Canada Ltd., the Society of
Management Accountants of B.C., Roland DG Canada Inc., the Certified
General Accountants Association of B.C., IBM Canada Ltd., Prentice Hall

Canada Inc., and B.C. Tel. @
