Homeworkware™

About

Built in 1997. Finished now.

In 1997, Steffen Parratt was an MBA student at the Wharton School, writing business simulations on the side under the name Schuylkill Software. Two were finished: CorporateRaider, on competitive strategy, and MacroTrader, on macroeconomics and markets.

CorporateRaider was used in a Wharton class that year. Steffen was in the room as a student. By his account, it was the most exciting class of the semester.

He shelved them. It was too early and too risky, with a young family to support. The rest of the library he had planned, including an operations game called ProductionWarrior, was never finished.

Twenty-nine years later, the tools have changed. Homeworkware is the rebuild: the original games, and the rest of the library.

The designer

Steffen Parratt holds a PhD in engineering from Cornell and an MBA in finance from Wharton. He has spent decades as an engineer, an entrepreneur and a CFO, including as CFO of a public company. He designed every game in the library.
