THE ASIAN MANAGEMENT GAME (AMG)
The Asian Management Game (AMG) is one of the annual activities of Asian Association of Management Organisations (AAMO) which aims at connecting different management organizations in the Asian Pacific region. This competition which has been run for almost two decades, has successfully served as a platform for our young executives to learn and exchange from each other.
The software Edit 515 which used for the AMG is owned by SDG and was designed and developed by Partners of EDIT 515 U.K., Professors of the Operational Research Department of the University of Strathclyde in Scotland . SDG and EDIT 515 U.K. are partners in developing and improving this Simulator. Their aim is to ensure that it is up-to-date, relevant and challenging in order to meet the participating company's current needs, and to keep up with the latest technology. This Simulator has suggested a close to reality business environment for our participants to test their management knowledge and their team power.
Young executive personnel nominated by National Management Organizations (NMOs) aged up to 45 or below.
The registration of the AMG is just opened for the teams recommended by the NMOs of AAMO, and each NMO could nominate up to a maximum of 2 teams.

Each team consists of 3 – 5 members, and is divided into 7 - 8 teams in a group by draw. Each round requires five financial quarters of decisions and the team that has achieved the best investment performance shall be the winner.
Company history which states company past performances and its present position are available at competition website for teams to download. Decisions surrounding Marketing, Finance, Production and Human Resources are entered online according to the Game Calendar schedule. At the end of each financial quarter team will receive a Management Report from the Game Administrator detailing the latest economic consequences and company’s performance after such decisions.
- Each team receives information (Company History) about the Company it is about to run;
- Outlines a Corporate Strategy;
- Launches its Strategy by making functional decisions in different areas of the Company (Marketing, Production, Human Resources and Finances).
- Then, it submits its Management Decisions (Decision sheet) to the Simulator via the Internet.
The Simulator then analyses and compares the teams' decisions and produces a Management Report for each team, showing the detailed results in financial and operational terms.
This process is repeated over Five Developing Decision Periods during the Competition, simulating a year and a quarter of the companies activity.
