ABOUT HVDsim

HVDsim is an interactive business simulation platform designed to help users understand the dynamics of modern markets, corporate decision-making, and economic systems.

The platform was founded with a clear mission: to lower the barriers of elite business education.

Traditional case-based and simulation-driven business training—often associated with institutions such as Harvard Business School—has historically been accessible only to a small number of students within elite academic environments. HVDsim seeks to make this style of experiential business education accessible to a much wider audience, allowing ordinary learners to explore complex business decision-making at minimal cost.

In this latest version, HVDsim has integrated Gemini 2.5 Flash AI, enabling users to receive real-time strategic insights and analysis during the simulation process.
All AI features are currently available to users for free, allowing everyone to explore AI-assisted decision making in a simulated business environment.

This version significantly expands the complexity of the simulation model. In addition to traditional business variables such as production, cost, market demand, and return on equity (ROE), the system now introduces several new economic and institutional factors:

Corruption

Learning Rate

ESG Rating

Investment System

With these additions, HVDsim evolves from a basic business simulator into a multi-dimensional economic learning environment, reflecting interactions between corporate strategy, institutional factors, and financial markets.
