Greenville Technical College students earn top ranking in global competition

Four student teams from Greenville Technical College’s Management program recently ranked in the Global Top 100 of the GLO-BUS Business Strategy Simulation, an internationally recognized, highly competitive learning experience used by two-year and four-year institutions worldwide.

Among the standout teams, GTC’s Team Angle NRJ earned the #1 global ranking for both Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Stock Price—a remarkable accomplishment, given that the simulation included more than 700 teams from colleges and universities around the world this semester. Multiple Greenville Tech teams placed in the Top 10 globally across several performance categories, demonstrating the exceptional capabilities of GTC students in navigating complex strategic decisions in a dynamic, real-world business environment.

“This level of achievement is exceptional for two-year colleges, which make up less than 10 percent of GLO-BUS participants, and our students’ performance speaks volumes about their understanding of business strategy,” said Vincent Weaver, department head and instructor for Greenville Tech’s Management programs.

As a result of their impressive success, GTC students participated in an elite 10-day global competition in August, joining other industry champions from colleges and universities around the world. This “best of the best” competition brought together top performers from GLO-BUS to compete at the highest level, and Greenville Tech’s team tied for fourth place in the world.

GLO-BUS (Global Business Simulation Strategy Game) places students in the role of executive leadership for a fictional company. Teams make weekly decisions on production, marketing, finance and corporate strategy, competing against peers worldwide in a simulation that mirrors the complexities of global business operations.

While many four-year institutions use GLO-BUS as the primary course framework, Greenville Tech utilizes the simulations as a supplement to a broader curriculum. Its students demonstrated the real-world readiness, analytical skills and strategic thinking required to compete and win at a global level.

Greenville Technical College is proud to celebrate these students’ achievements and looks forward to continuing its tradition of excellence in business management education as part of its School of Business & Computer Technology.
