It is trying to support five products in very different market segments and faces constant customer demand for better, faster, cheaper products. There is immediate pressure for the management team to develop a strategy and implement it thoroughly with every decision. Each simulated year decisions are required in Research and Development, Marketing, Finance and Production. In later rounds, Human Resources and Total Quality Management will be added for complexity and the opportunity for competitive advantage. Capstone will provide hands experience and learning in many of the critical decisions made in business today: How to organize a management team How to set corporate and departmental goals How to develop a strategy and tactics to support it How to analyze the market space and competition How to develop cross-functional integration How to design and evaluate new products Sales and Operations Planning Managing marketing and sales resources and budgets Human resources - allocation and training Labour negotiations and using labour costs to competitive advantage Production scheduling, automation and TQM initiatives Inventory control How to read and understand financial statements and financial ratios Interlinkages between functional decisions and how they impact the financial statements.
