Edit 515 software is used exclusively in this annual, international business competition which now includes thirty countries, from every continent.
Our partners in Portugal, SDG, organise this event on a knock-out basis, with three rounds played nationally.
The 2008 International Final was held in Lisbon in April 2009, at which all of the national champions competed. This was a fitting venue, as SDG celebrated thirty years of running the international Global Management Challenge (GMC).The basic format of this competition was originally pioneered (in 1970) by Edit 515.
GMC is a major international event, whose sponsors include Accenture, Barclays Bank, Expresso newspaper, Portugal Telecom and Staples Office Centre. Each year, some twenty thousand people take part and, to date, a total of nearly four hundred thousand.
The Global Management Challenge differs from our other products (such as Topaz-Vbe and Emerald-Vbe) because the GMC model is continually being revised and updated, often significantly, to reflect current and future business issues and concerns. This ensures that it remains topical and relevant for both business students and the business community.
