Learning Outcome on CEISM
Learning Outcome Paper
International Business has always been one of my favorite classes since I initially went study abroad in Florence, Italy in the summer of 2009. However, I must admit I was not too ecstatic when I first heard there was another simulation game in this course. After learning more about the game, I realized this simulation game was quite different than the ones I have played in the past. The business simulation game (CESIM) in my opinion was a great way to interactively learn about business operations, while also learning international business methods. This simulation game was very challenging, yet entertaining to operate. I will be going through some of the things I have learned and found helpful throughout the CESIM simulation.
Compared to the other simulation games, there are a few main reasons why I enjoyed CESIM. One main reason I enjoyed CESIM is based on the fact that each team member is allowed to make his or her own decisions, while cooperating with the group to achieve the best decisions for the company. While working as a group, I began to learn each team member’s background, as well as the strengths and weaknesses we acquire as at team. After developing relationships and learning each other’s skills, I began to learn more about teamwork and how to operate a company as a team just like in most work-related situation.
On the business side, as a young professional, I found that CESIM gave me a real look at how to financially manage a company and its investments from a leader’s point of view. I realize that this game required motivation, preparation, and discipline within a team. Being an independent insurance agent, I didn’t fully understand the specific skills that are most valued by companies and employers, such as leadership, problem-solving, decision-making, strategic planning, etc. CESIM has allowed me to enhance these skills and capacities in a way to improve performance within an operation.
