Resources:
Company organization – There is an overview in the Help section on how to organize a company. Each team can use the suggested ideas or come up with their own. Each person should have a clearly defined role and each team should have guidelines developed for themselves on how to conduct business.
Mission Statement – There is an outline in the Help, Tutorials & Demos, and Worksheets section of the simulation that will assist you. This is the mission and overall strategy that you may follow for the next several years. It should be word-processed and professional in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It will be graded on completeness, quality of thought, and reasonableness.
Functional Planning Worksheets - Planning worksheets are available on the capsim webpage under Help, Tutorials & Demos, and Worksheets. One must be filled out before decisions are made for each round. While they do not have to be followed in the actual decisions with 100% accuracy, they should tie to the team’s basic strategy and should be generally followed. These are graded on completeness, quality of thought, and planning.
