is it a game or real life?

Would it not be utterly wierd if in fact you were controlling some IT group in india?  If, say, they figured out a way to aggregate all the decisions people make in this game and turn it into a free outsourcing of their IT management which handles outsourced IT for major US companies?  I could just see the headlines, "India outsources outsourcing work to unsuspecting Americans.  Activity discovered when manager is caught playing 'game' at work."


The IT manager - overworked and underappreciated. You know the story. Back in school, always the last to be picked for football, but the first one they ran to when they accidentally deleted a homework assignment. Not much has changed since then. But the fact is it takes a special skill set to manage an IT department. As IT manager you need to monitor industry trends and administer mission-critical resources for an entire company. At the same time, you have to manage increasingly tighter budgets - finding ways to do more with less - and possess the people skills to oversee staff and run interference with top decision makers. 

The Intel® IT Manager Game tests your entire skill set - people management, resource allocation, strategic analysis and planning. It also tests your courage under fire - can you stand up to the scrutiny of top management along with that of your peers in the industry? Will the decisions you make result in breathtaking profits or devastating losses? Will you enjoy the sweet taste of victory or the bitter agony of defeat? Are you destined for management glory or will you be the kid sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the bell to ring?
