MG 708 - Executive Management Simulation

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is a business simulation with a general management focus. It requires decisions to be made in all major functional areas of a business, at every point in time, in order to achieve successful results. The scope of the data provided is sufficiently broad to require individuals to work in teams with shared functional responsibilities in order to facilitate decision-making. This closely resembles the most common organizational practice. These functional responsibilities can be rotated among students to increase the learning experience. Individuals must be able to assume responsibility for decisions in many areas including production levels, R & D investment, pricing, levels of promotional expenses, marketing activities, employment levels and some capital expenditure. Thus, all aspects of management are practiced during the running of the simulation. (prereq: MG 633 , MG 670 )
