Blood Analysis: Computer Simulation Introduction Blood is a combination of plasma (watery liquid) and red and white blood cells as well as platelets. It is a specialized bodily fluid that supplies essential substances and nutrients‚ such as sugar‚ oxygen‚ and hormones to our cells. Blood analysis can determine how functions of the body are working and if they are working properly. The purpose of this lab is to understand how various ailments‚ locations‚ and blood types can affect blood analysis

and I partook in the MEGA business simulation‚ a game in which teams take over different struggling car manufacturers in order to right the ship and compete against each other. The simulation consisted of a set amount of periods which I saw as turns in a game. For each turn we had to make decisions on what to do with your team’s company. These decisions were then put in an excel sheet and the results were often known the next day. The goal of business simulations is to learn while also having fun

I. The Firm’s Objectives A clear strategic plan was set out in the beginning‚ and adhered to throughout the course of the simulation. Our overall objective was to determine the correct mix and balance of camera components‚ which enabled the most favorable outcome in the competitive arena. In order to offset the cost structure of the multi-feature camera‚ a low cost structure for the entry-level camera was implemented. This was achieved by offering a differentiated‚ high end multi-feature camera
