Start-up motor

Business students at three United Kingdom universities are taking part in a competition to build a multi-million-pound company.

Students at the London School of Economics, London Business School and Oxford University will have the chance to make a virtual fortune while learning the craft of new company creation in a CD-Rom environment from French business simulators Monte Cristo. The environment in Start Up can be networked to provide collaborative learning for up to seven students over a local network or the internet.
