It’s time to start playing games. Seriously.
At this point in the semester, most of the work I’m going to be doing on a daily basis will be for simulations. My marketing strategy class will be working with something called MarkStrat. We’ve divided into teams and we will be competing in a strategic simulation as we fight for market share in a growing market, working on innovation, customer interaction, market definition, etc. Thus far it’s a lot of fun, but I also enjoy strategic game.
The other game is SimProject, for my project management class. It’s a project management simulation where groups will be bidding on resources, assigning those resources to tasks, and managing the group while trying to complete the project (and competing against other groups based on total project duration, project cost, and a few other variables.)
Both are going to be a lot of work, but I’m going to do whatever it takes for my teams to win. Not that I’m competitive…
