Description

Produce a professional report of 3,000 words on the performance of your company in the simulation, showing how theory which you have learnt on the MBA course was demonstrated both in your management of your business and in the way the other companies in your industry competed. Some specific questions regarding your vision, mission, objectives, strategic planning, decision making and key take-aways, will be provided for you to address and you will also have the opportunity to highlight other areas of your own choice. Your report must be fully supported by directly relevant quality academic sources in demonstrating the integration between the theoretical academic frameworks and your strategy, planning, decision making and overall performance of your organisation during the simulation. A key aspect of the assignment is that you evidence a clear link between the strategy you adopt during the simulation and the various academic frameworks you have been studying throughout your MBA units to this point in time.
