Junior Achievement of Upstate SC conducted its first JA Titan Challenge on April 2, 2011 at Clemson at the Falls, Clemson’s downtown hub for business, executive and entrepreneurial education. Twelve teams totaling thirty-two students from Crescent High School in Anderson District 3, and Greenville and Wade Hampton High Schools from the Greenville County School District vied for college scholarships in an online, interactive business simulation tournament. The competition is uniquely designed to unleash student creativity, test leadership skills, and demonstrate the competitive nature of the free enterprise system.
Acting as CEOs, the student teams make decisions on pricing, production, marketing, capital investment, research and development, and charitable giving. The team with the highest performance index at the end of the day was declared the winner. 50% of the performance index was based on retained earnings, and 50% on equal parts demand potential, supply potential, productivity, market share, and growth.
