This too cruel the care bear share world college

Be aggressive as hell.

1) Have a strategy but don't be afraid to adjust it based on the competition. The Capstone Courier has a lot of information in it. Make sure you actually read it. For example, the sim will show you that you ran out of inventory. The courier will tell you how much market share you lost to the competition when that happened.

6) Once you have cash flow going, buy back your stock as aggressively as possible. This is an easy way to increase shareholder earnings/value.

7) Marketing is key. Inventory storage and stockouts will kill your margins.

automatically give your team an A. Yes, for probably the only opportunity you will have in college, you receive an A by lowering the grades of your fellow classmates. Enjoy the ride.

Round 1: Borrow long term debt to the hilt, and issue max stock and you should have around $56 million to play with. You’ll zoom ahead of your classmates as they’re too timid to fully commit and go all-in. College students in their early twenties have this misconception that low debt is a good thing, probably because they’ve been traumatized by student loans. Companies use debt for positive things such as growth and plant investment, similar to homeowners who take on a mortgage or take out equity on their home; it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing.

Automation is an interesting one. I recommend 8.5 for traditional, 10 for low end, and 6.5 for the rest. It’s possible to push traditional to 10, but time it so you’re no longer R&Ding at the end; this applies to low end too. Figure out the product drift and complete R&D for the ideal spot by round 7. For low end, R&D doesn’t matter so long as you’re within the circle of product desirability. For high, performance, and size, you can push to about 7.5 automation. I’d be careful about high automation. The key is to ramp up your TQM to have 47 percent R&D reduction.

For projections, 1.2 is your baseline. You calculate this by going to your potential market share page in the Capstone Courier, and multiplying current market size from the segment analysis page, by the growth rate, by your potential market share percentage found on the right side. That’s your worst-case scenario projection. Then multiple by 1.2 in the production section for what you’ll actually make. In round 4, you’ll experience a recession, so pull projections back to 1.15 or 1.10. In situations where your three new products

prison lockdown as our products choked theirs from making money. Yeah, we had fun dominating. =)

CompXM: I had similar results in the class final. With knowledge gained from capsim, I immediately R&D’ed for three products in the core, nano, and elite categories. It’s helpful to just name them Axe2, Art2, and Ant2 after your regular products to avoid confusion. Don’t bother with a thrift product as it’s an analog to traditional and low end. The automation and capacity requirements are too extreme, so focus on high-end offerings that can hit the ground running. I ended the game with 46.46 percent market share, two companies in default, and another in second place. The game is similar to capsim, but on an accelerated four round simulation. Get TQM, workers, automation, and capacity up, and you’ll perform fine.
