Negotiations around buyer-supplier contracts are critical to supply chain management, communication and coordination. In this team-based simulation, participants apply strategies for contract negotiation in a rapidly changing environment. In this 6+ player synchronous simulation, participants work in teams, managing two supply chains simultaneously: one that converts raw green beans into roasted beans, and one that converts other varieties of roasted beans into coffee blends — with the value of each blend varying based on the quality of the roasted beans.
Teams compete to accumulate total profit. Each team must create and manage the relationships within its supply chains through contracts. Because each team is both buying and selling coffee beans, the teams are interdependent — and every action has implications throughout the game. Over the course of several rounds, teams send requests-for-quotes and requests-for-information to help develop strategies and negotiate contracts. Market conditions can change at any moment, so pricing adjusts and supply chain management costs fluctuate as the game progresses.
