The ULTIMATE Business Strategy Game BSG Guide - 2023 - How to Win BSG

👋Welcome '24 grads! I'm happy that you are here. If you have any questions, come to the Discord: discord.gg/xPXSpWJ5ac Make your resume more competitive with a Mini MBA: www.theminimba.com/ I am no longer tutoring BSG Online, but I recommend Dave Mar via www.bsg-game.com/

I just wanted to come back after a long semester and say this: my group and I watched your video at the beginning and have been absolutely crushing the competition since the start. This was infinitely more helpful than the Player’s Guide and got us off on a really good foot. By the time the other groups figured out how to play, we were already miles ahead. Thanks for making my final MBA class a breeze!

Thank you so much for this video! I was very confused and overwhelmed at the start of the BSG game for my class and watched your videos. Literally saved me. Followed your advice, made all of the decisions for my team each round and we ended up winning with a score of over 100! Thank you so much!!

I used this to help me walk through year 12 (after I completely bombed year 11) and it still was extremely helpful in getting myself on track. I went from second to last ranking to fourth in my class. Thank you so much!

omg yes, watch him! I literally had this video on replay since I've started the bsg.. It works for ALL years like he said. I was 1st place for my class thought out the whole game. THANK YOU DEREK.!!!!

Hello! First of all, I want to thank you for your work and the time you took to make this video and explain the BSG thoroughly. I attend a business school in Latin America and we just finished the BSG course last night. My team and I watched your video and we dominated the competition since the very beginning. In the end, we had the best overall score, best stock price and even the CSR award for three years in a row. You explained this game better than the 3 times I read the manual. Thank you very much for what you do. 🎉

Your overview was super helpful. Took my company from 5th place out of 7 to first place winning by +6 in only 5 years. Ditched the cost leadership strat early and went with 50 models offered at high price (top left corner of Comparative Competitive Efforts) and then focused the rest of production into private label. Worked great and couldn't have done it without your in-depth overview of BSG and tips! Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for making this easier to understand. We completely butchered our first decision period, and probably our second too. But we restart after this next round and start playing for real. I cant wait to see how much this helps us!

Dereck, thank you for breaking this game down and making it understandable. You were a lifesaver for my group as we were doing this business strategy game for our class. You're the GOAT!!

Derek, you killed it for us!🥳🥳🥳 I watched your videos and we took 1st. We're gonna try to bring home that title over the next few weeks. I think you might have a niche here buddy!💯 I can't image a ton of people are watching these videos but you're definitely providing the best content on this topic, believe me I looked far and wide! Anyways keep grinding on this thing you're doing! Cheers

I just have to tell you that my team has been watching your videos & we just finished our first round in first place by 13 points! You’re a life saver.

this is an amazingly helpful guide, i really wanna thank you. Got really good performance on my financials, and will keep up watching and learning the other videos.

I loved this guide. This guide is way better than the in-game help document(way too long). I placed myself in the top 100s multiple times during the competition. Currently have a 115 GTD score with 5 bonus points in year 18. This will give me a 10/10 for the BSG game :). Only praying my comprehensive exam goes well in the game, because the questions are way too long.

Used your tips and got the leap frog bonus! Thanks a lot hopefully my group keeps improving!!

This is excellent information! I have read half way through the players guide but I am still very confused with all the information. Yes, we can copy for year 11 but we still need to learn what you are sharing to make the next set of decision all the way through year 20. Thank you so much!

This video helped a ton would love a video series for the first 3 years that would be super dope to do a video like that to learn about what to do when you are competing and past year 11 Great Video Thank you

Love you king! helped my team take #1 so many times <3

This was more of a walk-through for me to understand how this game connects things together. In my course's case, we were to create strategies each week and explain our methods more than hitting grade-able metrics. Thanks for the time.

I'm sure you've answered this before, but any tips on the last year or so of the game? I have a note from one of your videos to do the improved working conditions in the very last year. Any other tips? Thanks for your videos! They are literally the only reason our team has done so well!

Bro... Absolutely vital video! Question though..have you ever tried a taking a high-end low-model count approach? I'm just starting out but I'm thinking if we start out shooting for the top left market space (at least early on). I feel like if we need to pivot in our strategy later on it would be easier to do? Just thinking most of the class will end up in a price war condition at least early on....Anyway, great video!! 🙌🙌🙌
