Students have to initiate a 3 weeks investment simulation on the New York Stock Exchange.
With a starting virtual budget of $10,000, they must build their own information system that will be used as a support to take operational decisions: buying or selling shares from 5 American companies. Each decision involves a cost for buying or selling that will be explained to students.
A final report is required 30 days after the beginning of the project.
The objective of this assignment is to produce a final report with four main objectives which are assessed according to the intelligence cycle in information management:
1) Capacity to define a general orientation and vision.
2) Capacity to seek information.
3) Capacity to manage information within an adapted and personal information system.
4) Capacity to make strategic decisions related to this information management.
