CAPSIM Summary Plan Reflection on Practice Round 1. Team’s Overall Performance My team has a varied performance during all the practice rounds. The practice rounds have really assisted me in understanding the relationships between business strategies, tactics. Initially, I came to the assumption that I wanted to really focus in the areas of Performance, Size, and High End. I ended up with a lot of debt, around 100,000+. I tried this in the practice rounds and this has helped me in learning

Over the course of this Capsim simulation, my group learned lots about the inner workings of a business. The knowledge that we gained throughout the eight rounds of the simulation helped us to be successful in the simulation itself, and it will help us to be successful and well prepared for work in business in the real world. Capsim has greatly expanded my knowledge about the communication and cooperation that it takes for companies to be successful. Throughout the Capsim simulation, our group was

1. Initial Strategy The initial strategy was to maintain a competitive presence in each segment by keeping our prices aligned with the average for each target market, while maintaining costs low. Specifically, it was our goal to become the leader in Traditional and low-end segments of the sensor business by allocating significant resources to R&D, marketing and promotions for these products. Our differentiator would be the result of a high investment in R&D to ensure our products were the

At the outset of my team’s discussion of strategizing about our plan, we quickly recognized that even once we decide upon an approach to unify our efforts within Capsim, we must hold that plan loosely, ready to adapt to market forces and changes. A strategy should unite us moving forward, not shackle us to our understanding of the market in week one. That said, we decided to pursue a niche differentiation strategy, targeting the high-tech market. Our primary focus is differentiating ourselves from

Forces and VRIO (Value, Rareness, Imitability, Organisation) Framework was used for producing strategies in this simulation. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the strategies and propose recommendations for the decisions made by Andrews in the Capsim Simulation. As a result of poor implementation of our strategic decisions, Andrews have not been successful. Andrews manufactures and sells electronic sensors that are found in a wide variety of devices and industries. As a result of the government
