The world, the business world, met war games much earlier than our country.

Simulation makes possible risks visible by allowing the strategic plan to be tested for possible reactions of competitors. Thanks to social interaction, it contributes to the creation of new knowledge. One of his most important contributions is to reinforce the team culture. This simulation, which provides different perspectives and results by making use of limited information, is actually an accelerated learning style. This method, which allows for the development of foresight against risk, change and competitors, also makes it easier to adapt to internal and external dynamics. As STM ThinkTech,
