Everest Simulation Report
Introduction
The Everest group simulation was an online simulation which encouraged five students to play a unique and vital role on a team of hikers. The main goal is to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The simulation stimulates practical application of concepts and theories managerial decisions, especially in the form of groups. The purpose of this report is to reflect on the experiences encountered in the team during the simulation and identify relation of our experience and management principals. It consists of a description and analysis of the Everest Team experience, a critical analysis of the team’s performance and results and a critical analysis of the team’s communication interactions.
In this simulation, there are five important key players and one observer. Each of the players has different role and different goal. Sometime, individual goals are clashing with other people’s goal and team’s overall goal. I was playing the role of environmentalist, Madina as team leader, Sean as doctor, Sanea as photographer, Brady as senior hiker, and Athena as observer.
At the beginning of the simulation, I was being warned that I had several medical records which indicate that the trip to the top of Everest will be a tough one for me. At this point, I was in thought of whether to acknowledge my team mates or just keep going. I did afraid that my condition will disrupt the plan mentioned by Madina which is to reach the top. I decided to warn my teammates about my weak physical condition, especially Sean, as he is the doctor, to be prepared.
