After taking what seemed like a potentially decisive lead going into the final round,
"We'll Fix It Later Construction Limited"
had almost filled their order book, and the amount of work that their Capital Base could support,
and this limited the amount of work they could win in period 12, and unfortunately they also lost the
jobs they bid for due to their client relationship not being as strong as rival bidders when the bids were close,
resulting in a 9% decline that saw them drop back to a third place finish.
This opened the door for "JAGS", with just 2% growth to
return to the top of the table to become the Oxford Brookes University Enginuity 2024 Champions
with an impressive finishing score of 1,627 pts,
and in the end a decisive margin of victory of 68 points from
"CC Construction Ltd" who moved up 2 places to finish Runners Up,
and breaking the monopoly that had occurred since period 5 between the top two teams.
In the final analysis all 7 teams finished with stronger, more sustainable companies than when they took over in period 5,
a testament to the skill and application shown by the management teams in what was a roller coaster of a journey through 2 simulated years
of management, with the second one particularly tough with the increased pressure to win new work.
