The finals consisted of a total of 12 teams, each representing a university. The winning team which made it to the grand finals comprised of Lakshika Paiva, Minura Maddage and Kivindra De Silva. It is also noteworthy that this is the first time in IIT’s history that a team of IIT students have been invited to compete in the GLO-BUS Best-Strategy competition along with 180 other top performing teams from across the world, and the team have done extremely well to be placed fifth in the world, at the GLO-BUS Best-Strategy competition held in May, which is an outstanding achievement.

One such student team from Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) performed extremely well during the simulation game and were invited to compete in the GLO-BUS Best-Strategy competition thrown open to chosen universities throughout the world.

Students in the final year of the Information Systems with Business Management (ISBM) internal degree program from University of Westminster (UOW) are required to use the GLO-BUS simulation game as part of their assessment criteria on the Business Strategy module and compete as a team. The game is enormously popular amongst undergraduates and MBA students of other international universities as well, and encourages a high level of professional conduct in decision making and strategy planning. It was developed in 2008 to help educate students in the field of Business Strategy focusing on competitive strategy in a truly global market arena. GLO-BUS is an online fully-automated business simulation game which helps business students by training them to devise successful business strategies.
