Syllabus:

This unit is a problem-based learning activity that encourages teams to apply their business knowledge within a competitive simulated business environment. Teams will be assigned to a company operating an electronic sensor industry. Companies will have to consider what is happening within their industry, why changes take place and make decisions that lead to successful outcomes. Managing these companies will require teams to make a wide range of decisions, including: Which markets to emphasise? What types of research and development to conduct? How to effectively - market products, manage staff facilities and a sales force, finance operations and manage production facilities. The simulation provides an opportunity to practice strategising. It is expected that teams will maximise their full potential by taking advantage of individual team member strengths. Responsibilities will have to be assigned. An agreement or contract describing the expectations of each team member must be obtained. The result willbe determined by team performance. However, it is essential that no matter how your team performs, the team continues to make a good faith effort to improve. The efforts of individuals can and will be tracked to ensure equitable outcomes.
