Abstract
<jats:p>The university textbook Simulation Application of Investing and Entrepreneurship – SAIP. User and Administrator Guide is designed as a practical teaching resource for bachelor’s and master’s students at the Institute of Management of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The main objective of the textbook is to introduce the SAIP simulation application as an educational tool for teaching entrepreneurship, investment decision-making, and managerial thinking in a simulated market environment. The publication explains in detail the internal functioning of the application, its logic, the modelling of market behaviour, different types of customers and competitors, as well as the principles of decision-making mechanisms within the simulation. The textbook also includes a step-by-step guide for using the application, supported by illustrative examples, tasks, and recommendations for implementing the simulation during seminars and practical exercises. A separate section is devoted to the administrator interface, describing the basic procedures for setting up the simulation, managing users, and evaluating results from the instructor’s perspective. Therefore, the textbook serves not only as a user manual for students but also as a methodological support tool for teachers who wish to integrate simulation-based learning into courses focused on management, economics, and entrepreneurship.</jats:p>
