Final Simulation Report

The written report needs to be 5-6 double-spaced pages (12-point type) with one-inch margins, excluding title page and appendix. The report should not merely list the results, but detail what you learned during the simulation by addressing the categories below. Note: you should include Product Life Cycle in all of your categories.

1. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price

2. Volume discounts and promotional allowances

3. Advertising budget

4. Selected advertising agency

5. Relative emphasis on the four types of advertising messages

6. Promotion’s budget with allocations to cooperative advertising and the three types of consumer

promotions

7. Sales force (number allocated to the five types of retail stores as well as to wholesale and indirect

support functions)

8. Segmentation

9. Line extensions

10. Cumulative net income throughout the simulation and final stock price

11. What you anticipate would happen to the Allround brands in period nine

Your appendix must include:

1. Your firm’s initial strategy

2. Your team’s decisions, results, and interpretation of results for each of the eight periods

3. Graphs

Once your group finishes the report, one member will upload it to Doc Sharing to share with the entire

class. The title of the report should include your group name, for example: “Group A_Report.” All students

should have access to the other firms’ reports once the game is over so they can learn from their

competitors’ insights and strategies. The reports form the basis for the discussion question in Module 8.

Simulation group member evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to give credit to those group members who went the "extra mile" or who

did their fair share. Conversely, if any group member did not do his or her fair share (regardless of

reason), he or she should not receive full credit. All evaluations will be kept confidential.
