Hi Dan,
although your response was to Bruce Clemens, I, Bruce Kibler of the
University of Wisconsin-Superior, am in almost the exact same position and
would love to join the professors' simulation exercise. I just recieved the
materials for the prof and student handbooks for implementation in Spring.

Betreff: Re: Restructuring of our strategy class
Hello Bruce,
Speaking for Capsim, we would recommend the Foundation(r) simulation for your
class. Roughly 28,000 undergraduates from Freshmen to Seniors did
Foundation(r) as part of their coursework in the past 12 months. You can find
a variety of promotional materials on the capsim.com <http://capsim.com/>
website.
This week we began an online 10 week Professor Challenge seminar. We like to
have a little fun with our seminars, and in this one professors compete in a
penny-a-point fashion as we cover simulation teaching methods. There is still
time to join the seminar if you are interested.
Hope this helps,
Dan Smith
President Capsim

Greetings,
We are considering restructuring our approach to teaching strategy.
We now have a junior level class that reviews the fundamentals (ratios,
financial statements, etc.) leading into our senior level strategy class that
includes the Business Strategy Game. One question into which I ran was the
use of the Business Strategy Game -type simulations (Capsim or others as
well). Has anyone ever tried to do the game with Juniors? Finally, where
can I find the research on the pros and cons of teaching strategy formulation
and strategy implementation in the same course rather than sequentially?
Thank you...
Bruce
