JR is a web-based simulation which challenges participants in leading their teams in the process of developing and launching a new product. The simulation unfolds along different rounds and participants have to collectively discuss which kind of actions to undertake in order to keep a diverse team motivated while maintaining focus on the task accomplishment. The simulation “reacts” on the basis of participant choices offering an opportunity to learn based on interaction and discussion in a dynamically changing environment.
