fare game screen shot Fare Game is a simulation of the air fare competition that emerged from Midway Airline's aggressive entry into the Milwaukee market in 1989. In Fare Game, students participate in a mock "fare war" to demonstrate how airlines compete and/or cooperate using fare cuts and hikes.

As active participants in price-setting and resource allocation, students learn how to keep their company profitable, to keep investors content, and to "signal" other competitors in the marketplace.

The Fare Game tool supersedes a manual in-class exercise and offers fast results, real-time calculations, and increased student involvement.
