Maharishi University of Management MBA Accounting teams excelled in an international business simulation again this year, with a team from MUM finishing #1 out of 101 graduate-level teams for the six-month period ending July 21.

The other four teams that competed finished #3, #5, #9, and #15—putting all five teams in the top 15%.

This was the third time in the past four years that a team from MUM has come out on top in a Capsim Foundation Simulation, an international online resource for learning decision-making in business.

"The simulation provides an opportunity for students to practice teamwork behaviors such as collaboration, negotiation, and consensus-building," said Andy Bargerstock, during whose four-week course the students focused on the simulation. "In addition, the groups think and act both strategically and tactically in a dynamically changing competitive environment. The Capsim results speak well about the readiness of our MBAs for the professional workplace."

Other schools that participated in the Capsim simulation included the University of Maryland, Villanova University, the University of Texas – Dallas, the University of Indianapolis, Drexel University, SKEMA (France), Mahidol University (Thailand), and Alfred Laurier University (Canada).

MUM students learn the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a simple mental technique that has been scientifically proven to relieve stress, enhance creativity and improve health and vitality. Some students indicated their practice of the TM technique helped them maintain broad awareness while focusing sharply on details.
