As mentioned above‚ during the last negotiation simulation there were three groups or teams. Each team represented a South American country. For this exercise the country of Brazil‚ wanting more action and less declaration of political will‚ convened a working group consisting of three countries: Venezuela‚ Peru and Colombia. The sole purpose of generating these countries together was to generate a solution to water quality concerns. Cooperation was a key element within this negotiation‚ as working

The Airplane game‚ an exercise in lean thinking. After reviewing the article The Lean Service Machine (Swank‚ 2003) and watching a video series on making toast using the concepts of Kaizen‚ the class settled into the simulation. This simulation utilized the uniquely simple task of making a paper airplane and transformed it into an overly complicated multi-step batch process simulating the complex production processes that control the manufacturing of military aircraft. There was a job initiator that

Another important theme that I witnessed this semester while doing the Statecraft simulation was the major theories. Here are some examples of how theories were used in our Statecraft world. Some countries tended to be realists‚ liberals‚ and feminists. The Empire‚ country 6 and USM chose to be realists because they have powerful military‚ decent resources and great influence on other countries. They allied with each other to create the Northern bloc. This bloc represents the three authoritative

group dynamics were such that we did not effectively utilize the resources we had‚ and consequently pooled a very limited amount of information. Rather than minimizing our risk‚ we increased it. I attribute much of our group’s failure at this simulation to process loss‚ which is defined as the problems that arise from lack of effective coordination among group members. A number of factors at play could explain the process loss which led to our counterintuitive results. First and foremost‚ one must

Age Simulation Reaction I often times sit back and think of myself as elder later on in life. So many thoughts come to mind about my physical appearance; not so many thoughts in regards to my own mindset or the mindset of others that surround me‚ both seniors and young people. I have never been a person to care how others feel about me‚ but this one day in particular when I was put in the shoes of an elderly person my world was turned upside down by the words‚ looks‚ and thoughts of others.

density was rated the highest among all features so we decided to focus on this one. We chose energy density within the NiMH due to its historical profitability. The minimum annual cost for this project was $3M. Since this was our first round of the simulation‚ we decided to invest the minimum required. Our team also felt it was important to focus on process improvement. Learning from the GEOX case study‚ in order to compete with surrounding competition‚ a company must
