New BSG Quiz 1

BSG Quiz 1 Answers
Please ensure you have the correct answers for your game. There are 2 games the BSG (Blue Shoe
game), Glo-Bus (Green Cameras and Drones game).
The selected answers are the ones that are correct. The simplest way of navigating through this
document is to press find and put down a very unique quote from the question on BSG. For example to
find the answer for the question below would be the find the quote “companies can expect to sell”.
Make sure it is 100% the same question and answers and you will do very well on this quiz. Some
questions have similar wording and the question may be further down the document. Another way to
navigate the document is via the answers. I strongly suggest though that before you actually do the quiz,
just skim through the questions and familiarize yourself with the answers as there is a time limit when
you actually do the quiz.
BSG Quiz 2 is substantially harder than Quiz 1, this quiz also brings about the introduction of what I view
as “concept” questions. These are questions that can be asked in several different ways, but is more or
less the same concept. For example exchange rate questions are important in testing your knowledge in
BSG, and they can be asked in a variety of different ways. For some of the questions that can be
conceptualized in different ways I have written a few notes that helped me figure out the answer when I
encountered it in another form. It is usually those balance sheet questions because BSG is very
particular (sometimes illogical) in how they calculate their values.
The very latest version of BSG also includes questions that relate to determining the “correct” or
“incorrect” conclusion given a set of data from the game. It is very easy to change the question, and I
believe that the software developers even randomize this particular question now.

Which of the following statements about the importance of each competitive factor in B
determining company sales volumes and market shares in a particular geographic region is
false?
B
B
B
o The closer to the all-company regional average is a company's price or S/Q rating or brand B
reputation or number of models (and so on) the smaller is the weighting/impact of that factor B
in accounting for why that company's regional unit sales/market share is above/below the B
region's all-company unit sales/market share averages.
B
How much impact each of the 13 competitive factors have in determining each company's B
branded pairs sold and market share outcomes in a region is not a fixed amount but rather is
an amount that varies from "big" (when there are "big" differences in rival company levels of
B
competitive effort on a particular competitive factor) to "small" (when there are "small" B
differences in the competitive efforts of rival companies) to "zero" (when the competitive B
efforts that companies exert on any one factor are identical). B
o As the spread between the company with the region's highest S/Q rating and the company B
with the lowest S/Q rating becomes greater and greater, the stronger is the unit sales/market B
share impact of the differences in the S/Q ratings among competing companies. B
@ Tiny cross-company differences in competitive effort on a highly influential competitive factor B
(like S/Q ratings, the number of models/styles offered, and selling prices) nearly always have
a bigger impact on company sales/market share outcomes in a region than do large B=
differences on less influential competitive factors. O=
Big S/Q rating differences, big average wholesale price differences, and big differences in the
number of models/styles offered in a region weigh heavily in accounting for company-to-
company differences in branded pairs sold and market share in all four regions.
