Assignment:

Your simulation experience has generated many business outcomes. Given your ending position (1st – 8th) in the sensor industry, please submit your answers to the questions below. Please be sure that your answers are well-written, thoughtful, 3-5 pages (total), double spaced (which will be scored for written communication skills), and that they carefully address each the following:

1. Based on your “strategic analysis”, what do you see as three plausible possible “courses of action” moving (hypothetically) forward? Each of the three possible alternative courses of action should be described in detail and should address what you see as the most relevant different stakeholder perspectives.

2. Detail what you think the results would be (i.e., those results related to and including your company’s growth, portfolio of products, competitiveness of your products, and operating issues), should each (separately, of course) of your proposed possible alternative courses of action be implemented? Describe any ethical implications associated with each of the sets of decision alternatives.

3. Based on the outcomes of each of the possible courses of action you have described in Question #2 above, which one of the above three courses of action do you recommend and why?

4. As implications of your recommended “course of action”, what are the operating tactics needed to implement your decisions in the next year for each function in your company: Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, Technology, Operations, etc.?
