Do I need a textbook for the game?

No.  

While we do have a textbook available for you to purchase, the simulation was designed with all of the core concepts built-in.  Because of this, you are free to use whatever textbook you would like with the simulation.  

If you use our e-book, you'll have the ability to select individual chapters that are relevant to the simulation, instead of buying the entire book.  Our e-book is priced at $1 per chapter, with the entire e-book costing just $19.00. You also have the option of purchasing the printed textbook, The Management of Strategy in the Marketplace, from lulu.com.
