RUSSIAN STUDENTS WIN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CONTEST
For the forth straight year Russian students won Junior Achievement
International's Computer-Simulated Business Competition. Two Russian
teams from high schools in Moscow and Troitsk won the first place in this
year's contest.
"The students from the former Soviet Republics tended to experiment more
and took larger risks during the competition," says William R. Glass,
President of Harvard Associates, Inc., the software development firm that
created Management and Economic Simulation Exercise(MESE).
During the contest, students were given weekly update of the market by
Harvard Associates via the Internet. Students would access the market
and make their decisions regarding the research and development,
production, pricing and marketing of fictional products. They would then
send these decisions back over the Internet to the Cambridge,
Massachusetts-based Harvard Associates.
126 teams from 16 countries participated in the 12 week contest. There
were 3 teams from Russia, 4 from Ukraine, 3 from Estonia, 1 from Latvia,
and 9 from Lithuania.

diplomatically in an increasingly threatening world? What is the real price
of reductions?

Johnstone has served as US Ambassador to Algeria, and Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State to Latin America. He is the former president of Cabot
