Static scenarios vs a live world

Globus runs on predetermined scenario events that stay the same session to session. SPPIN Sim generates world events from real news each turn — a shipping disruption, a regulatory change, a commodity spike. Students respond to what is actually happening in the world, not a scripted case from years ago.

General management plus supply chain

Globus covers production, marketing, finance, and HR. SPPIN Sim covers all of those and adds dedicated Supply Chain, Logistics, Procurement, and Operations modules — first-class disciplines, not bolt-ons. One platform for your entire business school.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SPPIN Sim and Globus?

Globus is a general business management simulation widely used in European business schools. SPPIN Sim offers the same strategic decision-making depth but adds AI-generated world events drawn from real news each turn, live real-time countdown timers for classroom delivery, dedicated supply chain and logistics modules, and zero-friction student access via team code and PIN — no accounts required.

Does Globus cover supply chain and logistics?

Globus focuses on general business management — production, marketing, finance, and HR. It does not offer a dedicated supply chain, logistics, or procurement simulation module. SPPIN Sim covers all of these as first-class disciplines, making it more suitable for supply chain management courses and specialist business programmes.

Can SPPIN Sim replace Globus for business strategy teaching?

Yes. SPPIN Sim covers the core business strategy and management decisions that Globus supports — production, pricing, marketing, finance — while adding real-time live turns, AI-driven disruption events from current news, 16 specialist modules, and a custom scenario builder. It is used by educators who want a more dynamic and flexible platform than a fixed-scenario simulation allows.
