MBA 670 summer Class & Assignment Schedule

As soon as you open the simulation spreadsheet, select File > Load Last Official Decision File

If you've been saving, then none of your work will disappear when choosing this option. This will “refresh” the spreadsheet and allow you to see what other team members have uploaded

Always save decisions

Keep in mind that you can save decisions as many times as you want before a round is processed. Make sure to save the work based on what you completed. Either per department or all.

When you are done, be sure to select File, then Save Decisions from the dropdown menu when you are done, or else your team members will not be able to see your decisions.

You must select Save Decisions and exit Capsim before your teammates can view your decisions.

Project 3 Step 7 – Evaluate Your Contribution to the Team

When you have completed all four rounds, write a post of about 200 words in your group discussion area explaining

the decisions in which you were involved,

the logic behind those choices, and

how those decisions contributed to the team’s strategy and results.

Project 3 Step 8 – Analyze Your Team’s Decisions and Results

Write an analysis that

describes the decisions your team made in Rounds 1–4 and the results of those rounds, and

interprets how your decisions influenced the results.

Please type your answers directly in the Project 3 Analysis Questions template and have the report ready by end of week 6.

Your report should be eight to ten pages (approximately 250 to 300 words per question).

Along with your analysis, submit your Team Decision Record.

Thus, you will submit two files to the dropbox located in the final step of this project.
