According to Tim Hall (2008), Capstone teaches strategy, accounting, marketing, finance, teamwork, and leadership. The program measures performance according to predetermined success measures and a Balanced Scorecard (p. 1-1). Having worked in as a Sales Executive, accessing the simulation rehearsal was an eye-opener for me. It gave me a bird’s eye view of how important the decisions coming from each business unit: R&D, Finance,

    I would have. The reason I would have let Paul go by his request is because no business needs an individual that treats their workers the way he does and because of his insubordination towards higher ups. His actions during the meeting should show you the way he carries himself at work. Ways businesses are dealing with these situations are by making sure to document all interactions with employees. Also companies are stepping up the way they recruit employees.…

    I attended the Bertha Strong Stroke Simulation event on March 1, 2016, at the Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix campus held at the Mercado building. I had attended this event in the past thought it would be interesting to compare my experiences. I was surprised to find that my first comparison would be the registration and receipt of materials needed to prepare for the event. It may have been due to familiarity with the process, but the current process seemed more coordinated. The registration process was different; it seems as though the old system had some issues as it has been changed slightly.…

    Simulation is a flexible teaching method that can be adopted to meet both the programme requirements and students learning needs. A stimulated environment provides conducive learning that enables students to repetitively practice until competence is attained. One challenge my students had was course overload. With so much information in a short period of time they were unable to link the theory to the practical environment. As such, I have realized it was not the actual learning of the skills that was the problem for the students, it was the application of them.…

    Coming to Carleton in September I thought I had a decent grasp on general business know how and how business worked, but after taking this course I have learned how little I knew, and how much there was for me to learn. So far in the course I would say I have learned a ridiculous amount, from business language to the skills you need to have a successful interview. In this memo, I will be covering a number of lessons I have learned, and these fall into three categories. The first being what I learned from the course, mostly what I learned in lectures and doing Learnsmart questions. These lessons have been predominantly the knowledge I have acquired through the professor and the textbook.…

There are many aspects of the simulation about which you might reflect, including the decisions made, group processes, how decisions were made, reacting and adapting to simulation results, effectiveness of strategies employed, etc.…

After doing the questionnaire, My Virtual Life assigned me a baby boy who I ended up naming him after me, Usman Jr. I tried to provide a soothing environment, and added the latest baby toys such as rattles, and toys so that he would be more active and curious about his environment. While raising Usman Jr. I tried not to be overly attached nor try to ignore his cries. For instance, when he would wake up in the middle of night, I would not ignore his cries and continue to sleep instead would try to soothe him down.…

    This strategic management class was very different from the undergraduate strategic management class that I took two years ago. In the undergraduate class the main focus was mainly GLO-BUS with online tests from information out of the textbook. In the graduate strategic management class there was more focus on case work along with GLO-BUS and testing from information in the textbook. The incorporation of the case work taught the students more about real world scenarios that is hard to teach through testing and reading a book. The instructors had high standards for the students to analyze every part of the company that their case was about and to determine how to improve that particular company.…
