Experiences of students
"Learning how to combine the power of extroverts with introverts gives you the opportunity to form efficient and effective task forces. So you will be able to expect the unexpected, prepare and look at it in a more comprehensive way."
Christoph Bauer, MBA International Management Part-Time, International Sales Engineer at Daldrop + Dr.Ing. Huber
"Quest 3C was a good possibility to really try to negotiate in secure conditions without losing something. Working with people you do not know in detail, combined with a mass of information cleared the way to really figure out different personalities and their negotiation styles."
Patricia Kopp, MBA International Management Part-Time
"Most valuable for me as I perceived it where for sure the simulation based on the theory information we've gathered and to see how people behave in different situations and how to react to it. This was even good to see in the preparation sessions where I think a lot of improvements could have been seen over time. I hope I am able to translate as much as possible to my daily life where the negotiations and meetings are not really far away from what we had as a case study."
Patrick Wolf, MBA International Management Part-Time, Product Manager - Marketing Medical Division - Business Unit - Leica Microsystems (Schweiz) AG
"The simulation game provides a chance to understand and adapt to the needs of different organizations in a competitive environment. Team members have to pull together to resolve conflicts, reach agreement and get back on track to achieve successful negotiation outcomes within and outside their organization. The course gave me greater understanding of my negotiation skills as well as an opportunity to improve them."
Aya Hallouda, MBA International Management Part-Time, Sales Assistant - Polyolefin Plants Zeppelin Systems GmbH
"The Quest 3C business game provides a good opportunity to practise negotiations on a small scale and in a secure environment. Working together with unknown personalities in combination with a lot of information paves the way to identify different kinds of personality and negotiating styles.”
Patricia Kopp, MBA International Management Part-Time
"The innovative business game QUEST 3C gave us students the ideal opportunity to work in cross-functional project teams on practical problems in the area of international project management and to develop individually especially in the areas of method competence and soft skills. The focus on the personal interaction of the participants, the use of modern communication platforms and the choice of English as the project language prepare us specifically for challenges in our later international project work.”
Dennis Christian Meinen, MBA International Management Part-Time, Audi AG, Quality Control Foreign Locations
"Overall I feel that with the wide range of purely theoretical classes business games are very stimulating and give us the chance to apply and put to the test in practical situations knowledge gained at university and at work. The skills required to put yourself in the position of your counterpart, to sound out the limits of your negotiating partner and simply to show understanding that people of different origins have a different understanding of the same thing are purposefully expanded. In this respect it is very important that in contrast to daily life you receive positive feedback and in particular suggestions for possible improvements and can consequently adjust your approach. Teamwork, networking, presentations, sales, marketing and not least negotiating are the key words for what I have learned in this class.”
