«Many students never get a proper understanding of how operations and financial statements fit together. I think Hubro Business makes these connections practical and completely clear to them.»
«Viele Studenten haben Schwierigkeiten zu verstehen, wie unternehmerische Entscheidungen und Finanzberichte zusammenhängen. Ich denke, Hubro Business zeigt ihnen diese Zusammenhänge auf praktische Weise und in aller Klarheit.»
«The students love it, and it’s much easier to learn when you like what you’re doing. Kudos to Hubro Education for giving us a unique way for students to apply their knowledge in a realistic setting.»
«The case method is great for learning, and Hubro let’s the students live out the cases. They can apply theory, make decisions, and see the consequences. It’s very close to what they’d get in a real business.»
«I believe my students have gained much from Hubro and that this experience will remain with them long after they'll finish their studies. I highly recommend it.»
«I’m not using games because it’s fun. It has to be because it gets results and that they actually learn something, and they do!»
«The simulation helps me do so many of the things I strive for as a teacher: to motivate and inspire, vary, concretize, activate and collaborate.»
«After the experience of playing the marketing simulation the students were able to use their knowledge and understanding to improve their test results. The students were able to provide much more realistic and considered suggestions in the business cases they were asked to analyse.»
«There were clear signs of engagement and enjoyment with the process and the content. One of our students from the first cohort, a lawyer, mentioned to me in a telephone call that it ‘was the most fun she had doing an assessment—EVER!’»
«Die Simulation hat mir praktische Erfahrungen ermöglicht, die ich so früh in meiner Karriere sonst nie hätte sammeln können.»
«Die Schüler:innen lieben das Unternehmensplanspiel, und es ist viel einfacher zu lernen, wenn man mag, was man tut. Hut ab vor Hubro Education, die es den den Schüler:innen auf einzigartige Weise ermöglichen, ihr Wissen in einer realistischen Umgebung anzuwenden.»
«Die Fallmethode eignet sich hervorragend zum Lernen, und Hubro lässt die Schülerinnen und Schüler die Fallbeispiele selbst erleben. Sie können ihr Theoriewissen anwenden, Entscheidungen treffen und die Konsequenzen sehen. Das ist sehr nah an dem, was sie in einem echten Unternehmen erleben würden.»
«Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass meine Schüler sehr vom Hubro Planspiel profitiert haben und dass sie diese Erfahrung noch lange nach ihrem Studium in Erinnerung behalten werden. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.»
«Ich setze Planspiele nicht ein, weil sie Spaß machen, sondern weil sie Ergebnisse bringen und die Schüler tatsächlich etwas lernen – und das tun sie definitiv!»
«Das Planspiel hilft mir, viele der Dinge zu tun, die ich mir als Lehrerin wünsche: zu motivieren und zu inspirieren, zu variieren, zu konkretisieren, zu aktivieren und zusammenzuarbeiten.»
«Nach der Erfahrung mit dem Marketing Planspiel konnten die Studierenden ihr Wissen und ihre Erkenntnisse nutzen, um ihre Testergebnisse zu verbessern. Sie waren jetzt in der Lage, viel realistischere und durchdachtere Vorschläge in den Fallstudien zu machen, die sie zu analysieren hatten.»
«Es gab eindeutige Anzeichen für das Engagement und die Freude am Prozess und den Inhalten. Eine unserer Studentinnen aus der ersten Kohorte, eine Anwältin, erwähnte mir gegenüber in einem Telefonat, dass es „der größte Spaß war, den sie je bei einer Prüfung hatte!»
«Hubro has improved the students’ understanding of the complexities of marketing a great deal. The average grade in the course has increased by an entire grade after we started using Hubro.»
«The simulation gave me hands-on experience that I couldn’t have gotten in any other way so early in my career.»
«Hubro hat das Verständnis der Studenten für die komplexen Zusammenhänge des Marketings erheblich vertieft. Die Durchschnittsnote des Kurses hat sich um eine ganze Note verbessert, seit wir Hubro einsetzen.»
«Die Simulation hat mir praktische Erfahrungen ermöglicht, die ich so früh in meiner Karriere sonst nie hätte sammeln können.»
