Our “We need your ideas!” competition was launched in March 2010.
“We need your ideas!” was a competition where contestants proposed their innovative ideas around serious gaming for teaching entrepreneurship. Liana-Daniela Ganescu proposed a game where the player runs a coffee shop business and learns how to be more competitive in the market through making the right business decisions regarding investments, suppliers, services and forecasting.
“The entrepreneur must learn to take risks, to invest more and sell more, to attract potential customers; since any potential revenue means first of all an expense. It is a game, but mostly it could be a simulation of an actual business.” Liana-Daniela’s proposal was voted as the best one among those received. Congratulations from the GET-IT team!
Where Is Chico, your cousin who unexpectedly left you in charge of his flower business?
The Where Is Chico Facebook application takes you through the discovery of where Chico disappeared to. Luisa Imperato from Switzerland was one of the people who found out where Chico is – and had her name drawn in the lottery to win an HP Mini. “I thought that winning a competition of this type would never happen to me!” she said, smiling.
