Cesim Global Challenge
Winning Strategy Series
Hello, and welcome back to our Cesim Global Challenge
Winning Strategy Series. In this comprehensive session, I'm going to walk
you through the Top 10 Winning Tips to help you dominate the Cesim
simulation across all markets – the U.S., Asia, and Europe.
This video will focus on Season 41, but the insights
and strategies are applicable to any round and will serve as your foundation to
win the game from the early rounds to the final.
Let’s dive into these 10 powerful tips step-by-step
to help you outperform competitors and maximize your team’s performance.
🔹 Winning Tip #1: Analyze
Unit Sales (Unit Results) of All Companies
Before making any decision, the first thing you need to do
is analyze unit sales from the previous round.
Check the unit results (unit reso) for each product in each market —
USA, Asia, and Europe.
Look at:
- Your
company’s unit sales
- Competitors’
unit sales
- Market
shares
- Price
points
- Product
features
Why is this important?
Because unit sales tell you how the market responded to product features and
pricing in the previous round.
If a competitor sold more units than you at a similar price, it often means
their product had better features or higher perceived value.
Use this insight to plan your forecast for the next round
and adjust your product accordingly.
🔹 Winning Tip #2: Deep
Dive into Financial Statements
Next, open the financial statement report.
It’s a goldmine of information you should always review before setting
decisions.
Here’s what to check:
- Sales
revenue by region
- INDD
(R&D) costs
- Promotion
expenses
- Cost
of goods sold (COGS)
- Profit
margins
- Net
income
This will give you a clear picture of where your money is
going, which regions are performing best, and how much you’re spending on
features, logistics, and promotion.
Use this to identify inefficiencies and optimize spending
next round.
🔹 Winning Tip #3: Study
the Market Report Carefully
The market report gives insights into your
competitors’ strategy and overall market behavior.
Key items to review:
- Prices
offered by all competitors
- Number
of features in each product
- Estimated
demand
- Average
selling price per region
Compare your offering with the market average and competitor
performance.
This will help you understand:
- Are
you overpricing or underpricing your product?
- Are
your features competitive enough?
- How
much are customers willing to pay?
This data is essential for accurate forecasting and strategic
pricing in the next round.
🔹 Winning Tip #4:
Evaluate the Market Outlook and Growth Trends
The market outlook section forecasts demand growth
across each region.
Example:
- U.S.
may grow by 10%
- Asia
by 20%
- Europe
by 5%
Why is this critical?
Because you want to prioritize production and marketing efforts in
high-growth regions.
Don’t spread your resources evenly – allocate based on opportunity.
Use growth rates to adjust demand forecasts,
marketing spend, and product distribution accordingly.
🔹 Winning Tip #5:
Understand Regional Demand in Detail
Now that you’ve identified growth regions, break down the exact
demand per region and per product type.
This will help you:
- Avoid
underproduction or overproduction
- Avoid
lost sales due to inventory shortage
- Reduce
excess inventory and storage cost
Use historical data + growth outlook to project realistic
demand for each region.
Then adjust your production strategy accordingly.
🔹 Winning Tip #6: Set a
Smart Production Plan
Your production decisions must align with forecasted
demand.
Here’s how to do it right:
- Calculate
total forecasted demand across 3 markets
- Adjust
production within your internal capacity
- Use outsourcing
only when internal capacity is not enough
- Keep
a balance – too much outsourcing may increase cost per unit
Let’s say you have 3,600 internal units and outsourcing
allows 2,180 more. That gives you around 5,780 units to distribute
across markets.
Also, don’t try to sell too many different product types
early.
Focus on Take 1 and Take 2, the first two product types, to ensure strong
performance and healthy margins before expanding to other types in later
rounds.
🔹 Winning Tip #7:
Optimize R&D (INDD) Investment
R&D (or INDD in Cesim) affects:
- Number
of product features
- Customer
satisfaction
- Sales
performance
Check how many features competitors had when they sold well.
Then adjust your R&D spend to match or slightly exceed their feature
set while staying cost-effective.
Don’t overinvest in features that the market doesn’t value –
base your upgrades on what customers in each region care about most.
🔹 Winning Tip #8: Make
Strategic Marketing Decisions
Marketing is one of the most powerful tools to
influence performance.
Focus on:
- Setting
the right price per region
- Defining
number of features per product
- Promotion
budget per product, per region
- Estimating
gross profit per product
Here’s the formula:
- Estimate
demand → forecast sales
- Set
competitive price → calculate expected revenue
- Subtract
unit cost → find profit margin
Also, remember: each region can sell up to 2 product
types.
Make sure both are well-priced, well-promoted, and feature-rich
enough to appeal to regional customers.
Marketing drives sales immediately, so every
adjustment counts.
🔹 Winning Tip #9: Plan
Logistics Carefully
Now comes logistics – where many teams lose profits.
Key decisions:
- Where
are you producing?
- Which
regions are you supplying?
- Are
you using the most efficient routes?
You must set:
- Production
center (e.g., Asia)
- Export
plans (e.g., Asia → Europe, Asia → USA)
- Inventory
control
Double-check:
- Domestic
production quantity
- Outsourced
production
- Total
supply vs. regional demand
- Inventory
balance
The goal is to minimize shipping and handling costs
while meeting demand without running out of stock.
🔹 Winning Tip #10: Take
Smart Financial Decisions
Your finance panel involves:
- Loan
repayment
- Issuing
or buying back shares
- Dividend
payments
- Cash
reserve management
Here's what to do:
- Repay
loans if interest is too high
- Only
issue shares if you urgently need funds
- Pay
dividends if you have surplus profit (boosts stock price)
- Ensure
positive cash flow at the end of each round
Also, check your pro forma income statement before
submitting:
- Revenue
growth
- Profit
trend
- Total
cost structure
- Inventory
and receivables
- End-of-round
cash
Use it to validate your decisions. If your revenue or profit
dropped compared to previous rounds, go back and reassess marketing, pricing,
or production.
