Syllabus:	This unit is a problem-based learning activity that encourages teams to apply their business knowledge within a competitive simulated business environment. Teams are assigned to a company operating an electronic sensor industry. Companies have to consider what is happening within their industry, why changes take place, and make decisions that lead to successful outcomes. Managing these companies requires 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 practise strategising. Teams are expected to maximise their full potential by taking advantage of individual team member strengths. Responsibilities have to be assigned. An agreement or contract describing the expectations of each team member must be obtained. The result is determined by team performance. However, it is essential that no matter how a 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.
