...Simulation Review Paper Patton-Fuller Health Care is a not-for-profit Community Hospital that has many different types of services. Some of the services that are provided within this hospital are: emergency medical care, physical therapy, radiology, cardiology, labor and delivery, and even surgery for everyone. The Cardiac Care Hospital is a very important part of the Patton-Fuller Hospital, within this paper analyzing the financial indicators that help with the decision making that help in both the weaknesses and strengths within the Cardiac Care Hospital (CCH). At the same time, I will also be evaluating the funding options for obtaining medical equipment, and also the funding strategies for the success or failure of capital expansion (Apollo Group, 2011). Within phase one, one of the simulations observed was the great impact was throughout the cost cutting measures. Some of the options that were given and even used were the reduction of staff, and making changes within skills that were being used. By cutting these two cost, may have seen to some as a bad thing, but in the end was something that needed to be done to help the organization and it did not leave the organization in a shortfall. Reducing the staff was a great option because it helped the organization reduce the costs of training that needed to be done. Reducing staff members also meant that the organization would have fewer salaries to pay, meaning more for other equipment that is needed. The other option...

...Online Business Simulations Like the last entry, this entry is also derived from a paper I wrote for my master's work in the Technology, Innovation, and Education program at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. My advisor on this project was noted knowledge networks researcher Barry Fishman, visiting Harvard from the University of Michigan. Harvard Business School Publishing is about to launch the first two products in our new series of online business simulations and I wanted to investigate how we can ensure that this product line produces effective learning for our customers. This paper explores a framework for assessing effectiveness in online business simulations. Introduction Problem Statement and Paper Structure Harvard Business School Publishing (HBSP) has created a new product line of online business simulations. We know from faculty customer surveys that they are highly concerned themselves with how easy the simulations are to use, administer, and debrief, and that they are equally concerned that their demanding, and increasingly technically-literate, students rate the learning experience as engaging and dynamic. Hence these eLearning products are designed to be engaging, interactive, usable and teachable. We also know from faculty surveys that these types of learning tools are considered to be very effective. But what does the literature say about these kinds of claims? How can HBS Publishing know whether users of these simulations are truly learning...

...Manufacturing With Simulations and Games: A Survey and Future Directions Fazleena Badurdeen1, Philip Marksberry1, Arlie Hall1, and Bob Gregory1 Simulation & Gaming 41(4) 465–486 © 2010 SAGE Publications Reprints and permission: http://www. sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1046878109334331 http://sg.sagepub.com Abstract Problem-based learning focuses on small groups using authentic problems as a means to help participants obtain knowledge and problem-solving skills. This approach makes problem-based learning ideal for teaching lean manufacturing, which is driven by a culture of problem solving that values learning as one key output of manufacturing production. Thus, simulations that organize participants in teams for realistic manufacturing production problem solving are widespread as a way to use problembased learning to teach lean manufacturing. But a critical assessment of existing simulations for lean manufacturing instruction has been lacking. Accordingly, a literature survey is conducted and existing simulations are classified according to their emphasis on lean tools or the overall lean system; the degree of their focus on soft skills, if any; and their area of application, whether academic or industry. Four gaps are found in existing simulation designs: lack of stress on soft skills, a mistaken focus on “linear lean,” misunderstanding of the key role of the facilitator, and lack of realism. Future directions for study and improvement in lean simulation design...

...! University of Illinois at Springfield Journal Article Review By Sadanand Patil. Instructor: Hamed Saremi. ABSTRACT: In this paper we are going to review three journal articles based on Business Process Modeling and Simulation. These articles explain the importance of business process modeling and simulation in business processes. Authors discuss how modeling and simulation is done. We start with some information about the business processes explained by the authors then we will discuss business process modeling and methods of modeling. We will also go through how simulation modeling helps to evaluate alternate business process strategies. We will also discuss benefits of simulation of business process modeling. The purpose of this paper is to give readers idea about the journal articles, whether they are worth reading and importance of these articles and how these articles will help to understand Business Process Modeling and Simulation. INTRODUCTION: Ray J. Paul, Vlatka Hlupic and George M. Giaglis explained in their article that due to increasing competition, organizations need to make major changes in their each step of business process. BPR (Business Process Re-engineering) helps an organization to enhance the business process and also creates new ways in order to gain a competitive edge in a real market. BPR helps to redesign the business system for the enhancement of an organization. Many organizations faced a failure because of many factors...

...Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) 2008 Five Forces Driving Game Technology Adoption Roger D. Smith U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Orlando, FL roger.smith14@us.army.mil ABSTRACT The computer gaming industry has begun to export powerful products and technologies from its initial entertainment roots to a number of “serious” industries. Games are being adopted for defense, medicine, architecture, education, city planning, and government applications. Each of these industries is already served by an established family of companies that typically do not use games or the technologies that support them. The rapid growth in the power of game technologies and the growing social acceptance of these technologies has created an environment in which these are displacing other industry-specific computer hardware and software suites. This paper introduces five specific forces that compel industries to adopt game technologies for their core products and services. These five forces are computer hardware costs, game software power, social acceptance, other industry successes, and native industry experimentation. Together these influence the degree and rapidity at which game technologies are adopted in a number of industries. The military simulation industry is just one of the many industries that are being impacted by these technologies and the five forces are affecting it just as they are many other industries. The paper extends...

...by: The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss how the principles of both macroeconomics and microeconomics are pertinent to many aspects of our daily lives in ways that a mass majority of individuals has never stopped to think about. The discussion herein is based on a simulation involving rental apartments in Atlantis that are all owned by the same company known as Goodlife. It is important to anyone individual or company in their growth to know when to know what a good price is, when to spend money, when to save money, and what to do in between, and to do so you must understand the concept of supply and demand and how to utilize the information. Most people understand the basic aspects of this; however, to be effective one must know the importance of how both macro and microeconomics are to our ways of living. Further at it relates to the simulation, discussions in this paper will consist of identifying both a supply and demand curve and explain what happens when a shift takes place as well as their different areas of impact. Lastly, I will discuss price elasticity and how a persons spending. Macro and Microeconomic Principles Here is a quick review of two important terms and definitions. Pursuant to Colander (2013), “Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a while” and “Microeconomics is the study of how individual choices are influenced by economic forces”. The simulation provides information showing that although Atlantis...

...Papers should include a critical view of how investigators have made choices regarding each of the important steps in the research process that we cover in class. What we're really interested in at each step is how much a single methodological choice dominates the research area, and therefore the errors inherent in such a dominant choice, that might underlie general conclusions about substantive phenomena. To reduce some of ambiguity about what these choices or points of criticism are, you can use the Martocchio and Harrison (1993) paper as a very loose guide, and you can take cues from the paper grading sheet that I've attached to this syllabus. The text of the paper (i.e., not counting references, tables, figures, and appendices) should not exceed 25 pages of double-spaced (6 lines per inch, 3 of which contain text), Times-Roman 12-point proportional text, with one inch margins. The paper is due by 9:00am on Friday, May 2nd. I want this one electronically. Please email me your write-up as a Word 2003 (.doc) file. I do not accept late papers or give incompletes. You will have already written the initial draft by completing the two take-home exercises, so you have no excuses. We'll talk more about this critique as the semester goes on. As I mentioned above, each of the exercises will also add to the completion of this paper. In past years some students have used the paper to gain deep expertise in a topic area and then...

...Supply and Demand Simulation Joseph Silva Eco 365 FARIBA KHERADMAND 5/6/14 In this paper we will be observing the key points of microeconomics and how it relates to week twos supply and demand simulation. We shall go over and review the basic principals on how the supply and demand curve works and is effected in certain senarios. Also in this summary we will go over the affects on equlibrium price, quantiy, and decision making. Finally we will talk about the firms stategies how it relates to the senario. The senario in this simulation brings you to a new city called Atlantis where you are a property manager of some two bed room apartments. Your job is to manage the rental rates and make sure things don’t get out of hand in reguads to shifts in the demand and supply. The first topic we shall review in this paper is the miro and macro economic principles that came up in the simulation. From the the microeconomy stand point the two concepts that came up were the supply and demand as well as price cellings. The supply and demand was the most obvious one to choose. In the simulation you had to figure out how much the supply and demand curve shifted. In most cases the demand curve was always shifting due to the preferences of the simulation always changing. If the population increased then the demand for the apartments increased. Same thing if the preference changed it could cause and increased affect or a decreased...
