Project 3: Simulation as a Tool for Strategic Decision Making Step 8: Analyze Your Team’s Decisions and Results
INBOX: 1 New Message
Subject: Report From: Jillian Best, CEO, MCS To: You
Hello, I think we’ve learned a lot about MediCorp’s capacity to compete internationally. Well done.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on what we have learned by employing a global strategy for our client.
I need you to write an analysis that (1) describes the decisions your team made in Rounds 1–5 and the results of those rounds and (2) interprets how the decisions you made for MediCorp affected the company’s performance.
I’m looking for an eight- to ten-page analysis that answers some key questions. Please use the attached template and prepare the report for me by the end of the week. Type your answers directly in the template.
Thanks for your hard work,

You have now finished working with your team on implementing a global strategy for MediCorp. At this point, you will transition into an individual role of an analyst for MCS. Each person on the team will do his or her own analysis of results without any consultation with other team members or with students on other teams.
Submit an analysis of Rounds 1 through 5 of the simulation by answering the questions provided in the Project 3 Analysis Questions template. Your report should be eight to ten pages (approximately 250 to 300 words per question), excluding the cover page, reference list, and appendices (if needed). Any tables, graphs, and figures should be included in the body of your answers. For big tables use appendices. Your report should have one-inch margins and be double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font. In-text citations and references should abide by the APA format. Do not delete the questions as you complete the template.
Along with your analysis, submit your team Capsim Decision Record (see step 5 of this project). Thus, you will submit two files to the dropbox located in the final step of this project.
The next step provides recommended delivery dates and file-naming protocols for Project 3 deliverables.

Project 3 Analysis Directions: Write your answers below each question. Please do not delete the questions.
1. What strategy was your team implementing? Give examples of one or two decisions in each functional area over the five rounds that were consciously driven by the chosen strategy. Explain.
2. Which countries (The USA, Germany, &/or China) and customers (high tech, low tech, or both) did your team target with your products and why? What did your customers want most? Did your market share change over the five rounds for the countries where your products were sold? Comment on how it changed and why.
3. Based on Section 1 (High Level Overview) of the Round 1 Report, how did your team’s sales results compare to those of the other five teams? What decisions in Round 1 might have caused your sales to excel or suffer in comparison to your competitors? In other words, explain what factors affected your revenue.
4. Did your team meet the potential demand in each of the simulation rounds? Hint: Look at the Marketing Sections (3-8) of the report. If you observed a stockout (inability to meet demand) in one or more rounds, pinpoint the reasons behind each instance. If you didn’t have a stockout, explain why.
5. Explain your team’s capacity decisions, including whether or not to use a second shift in each round. How were production decisions aligned with market demand? Compare the available plant capacity in each round (first and second shift) versus the number of units produced. Was there idle capacity in any round? Were there any issues with overproduction? Is it possible that you could have used capacity more efficiently? Explain why or why not.
6. Calculate Return on equity (ROE) for all five rounds, using Dupont Formula ROE [Note: In the DuPont equation, ROE is equal to profit margin multiplied by asset turnover multiplied by financial leverage.] What does each component tell you about your team’s performance? What conclusions could you draw from your data?
7. Adequate cash flow is required for a company to support operations, invest in the future, pay down long-term debt and reward shareholders with dividends. Analyzing the Cash Flow Statement for each round identify the change in cash flow from the previous round and identify the major causes of this change. What conclusions could be drawn from your analysis?
8. Assess your team’s competitive position at the end of Round 5. What strengths and weaknesses does your team have in comparison with your competitors in terms of products, marketing, production, and finance? How could you be more successful? Explain.
9. How did your team balance short-term profitability with long-term sustainability in decision-making? Were there any unexpected challenges or opportunities that emerged, and how were they addressed?
10. Compare your team’s initial strategic goal and objectives with the achieved results. Did your team’s decisions in Rounds 1–5 always align with the chosen strategy? If you found yourself deviating from your strategy, explain why. In hindsight, what decisions would you have made differently? Explain.
