Booking
Join the Emerging Threats and Technology Group (ETG), Oxford Business Network (OBN) in Public Policy, Government and Global Affairs, and the Said Business School (SBS) Military Veterans Club for a joint-designed and hosted industry wargame simulation on May 6, from 2-5 PM at Said Business School. In the year XYZ, a strait closure results in a shipping and market crisis for oil companies and their subsidiaries. Unlike traditional wargames, this simulation places you in the mindset of a large international conglomerate as you must manage your stock price, public sentiment, and profit margins while competing in oil markets racked by geopolitical crises. Networking and drinks to follow.
