You need to read the Delta/Signal Corp. Case and the How To Play Document in preparation for the simulation.
The Balanced Scorecard Objective Worksheet may be helpful to create the initial scorecards.
In this simulation you will act as a member of the management team of a struggling automotive parts manufacturer. You will determine the strategy and track associated metrics over time. Each period, you will fund initiatives that will impact both your financials and selected metrics.
There are two roles available on simulation teams:
Data Entry: The Data Entry role is responsible for entering decisions and submitting initiative spending during each round of the game.
Data Analyst: Data Analysts may view all data in the simulation, but may not submit any decisions. An analyst may only view the results of these decisions as they relate to both financial and non-financial metrics, historical initiative spending and scorecard.
DECIDE: Fund Initiatives
In this part of the game, you will choose the initiatives, or actions, that you will take to achieve a strategic goals. You have a total budget of $25,000,000 for each round.
Remember that each round equals a six-month period in the life of the company. During each round, the game will keep track of how much you have spent and how much of your budget remains in the upper-right side of the screen. You will not be allowed to go over budget.
