The instructor can decide the level of complexity by selecting the number of decision areas a student is forced to consider, thus making the game equally applicable for a first year principles students and a Graduate students. The instructor can also "set up"or adjust the marketing environments in the simulation to meet specific learning or teaching objections, and can decide if students will compete in groups against each other, or simply against themselves.
