Introduction The Everest simulation provided several situations where multiple management theories, discussed in the lectures, were applicable. Being divided into teams to complete the task helped align this simulation’s findings with a real life business setting. Contrasting roles and goals of each individual team member further enhanced the similarity to an everyday business. To conquer Everest, whether it is in reality or as part of this ‘simulation’, requires significant amounts of planning

Executive Summary The Everest simulation is a team simulation designed to emulate real life group processes and the diverse range of intergroup interactions this entails. Developed by Harvard Business School, participants are grouped into teams of 5 (with an optional sixth member, the observer) that make a virtual climb up Mount Everest. Performance is assessed through both individual and team goals that are provided throughout the simulation. Members were allocated into groups randomly within

I played the role of a mountaineer in the Everest Simulation. From the very beginning I had problems identifying with my role. So I started my expedition with an apathy towards my role. After a while, at camp 2, my health became critical. I understood my condition perfectly, analyzed the given information and asked for the correct treatment, which helped in getting the team an additional bonus point. But as the task progressed, I could see myself focusing on my personal goals rather than the team

“Virtual teams are teams whose members are geographically distributed, requiring them to work together through electronic means with minimal face-to-face interaction” (Malhotra). I had four teammates to achieve our goal on three assignments. We wanted to do our best as possible. Meeting face-to-face is different from meeting virtually. As everyone in my group was busy working full time, we managed to meet online. The best technology we used was through email. We felt that everyone replied the

ar Mars By: Amanda Baker The discovery of Mars is not credited to a single individual, but rather a multitude of astronomers and observers that range from the early Egyptians to the Babylonians, Greeks, and Danish. In the earliest days of Mars observation, all that was known about it was that it appeared to be a fiery red and followed a strange loop in the sky, unlike any other. “The Babylonians studied astronomy as early as 400 BC, and developed advanced methods for predicting astronomical
