- Farmer's Stride
- You are the manager of a small agricultural co-op. You
- concentrate on farming and control five farms, which produce
- frozen meat for retail outlets in the cities. Currently, profits
- are good and all the farms are doing well. However, the market is
- saturated and there doesn't seem to be any growth in demand for
- meat in the horizon.
-
- To grow this company, you need to diversify your business. You
- plan to expand into the retail business, so you can ensure
- constant markets for your products. You currently dominate the
- farming industry and the frozen meat market.
-
- Your goal is to dominate both the farming and retailing
- industries. You have 80 years to achieve the goal and you will
- score a 110 point bonus if you succeed. To reflect the fact that
- you are an agricultural co-op, all electronic and heavy
- industrial products are excluded from this scenario. The stock
- market is also disabled, so the focus is on operational-level
- management.
