Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Designed as a hands-on experience to prepare students for executive-level strategy execution, this class is a culmination of the completion of four years of Dyson courses in managerial economics, finance, accounting, marketing, and macroeconomics, in which students will use real-time strategic decision-making from each topic area to influence the success of virtual companies. Implemented via a computer simulation, the business decisions of these self-selected teams will then translate to performance via competition with the other teams within the same industry in the class. Assessment will be based on a strategic intent paper, written at the beginning of the semester by each team, an in-depth presentation of firm performance and strategy in a "board of directors" (BOD) meeting, and an individual post-operations analysis. 

When Offered Spring (seven-week session).
