As I dint have much knowledge about Business Capstone I was so nervous however,

Introduction

I took off on the word ‘go’ and always focused on the future. Things weren’t easy for me as I come from a different country and culture. All I knew was that it was a simulated business situation where all groups competed against each other. It all sounded exciting but at the same time, very confusing. I had to apply all the knowledge I gained in the past 2 years to work well through the simulation. I was ready for a challenge.
