What does a business simulation in DECA involve?

A business simulation in DECA involves mimicking real-life business scenarios. This approach provides students with a practical learning experience that closely replicates actual business conditions and challenges. Through simulations, participants can engage in decision-making processes, strategize, and see the consequences of their choices in a controlled environment.

This hands-on experience helps to reinforce concepts learned in the classroom and allows students to develop critical skills such as problem-solving, analytical thinking, and teamwork. It prepares participants for real-world business situations by providing them with opportunities to experiment, innovate, and adapt their strategies based on outcomes, which is a fundamental aspect of learning within the DECA framework.
