Abstract: Abstract INCONGRUA is a simulation built around the relationship between Western multinational enterprises (MNEs) and resource-rich developing countries, often referred to as MNE-host country relationship. MNEs are under pressure to develop strategies that demonstrate not only their ability to maximize profits (to secure commercial licenses) (Lessard & Miller, 2001; Inkpen & Moffett, 2011) but also their ability to ensure effective environmental management and wider social responsibilities (to secure ‘social license to operate’) (O’Neil, 2008; Hackenbruch & Pluess, 2011). These commercial and social dimensions are crucial to ensure that the realization of major natural resource production projects contribute to the realization of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals through taxes on revenues, job creation, income growth, and environmental management (O’Neil, 2008).
