Business simulations (AKA tycoon or management simulations)
Business simulations (also called tycoon simulations or management simulations) are video games that focus on the economic and the management side of running a business. In tycoon games the player can be in charge of any kind of business: a company, a sports team, an hospital, an amusement park, even a drug cartel.
