Märksõnad:
A book/disk package showing how to use a computer program that simulates the workings of a small manufacturing business, for use in group projects in business courses. Students act as a team of top-level managers, making decisions about all aspects of the business, from the mission statement to marketing and production operations to dealing with an alcoholic employee. Early chapters review fundamentals of management, describe the company and its business environment, and introduce the simulation model. Later chapters explain decisions students will make in the simulation and describe reports teams will receive from the computer. Appendices provide reference information on the "company" and give sample reports and blank forms. Can be used with DOS or Windows. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
