My Teammates Rock
Posted on May 4, 2006 by Ching under School.
Not only did we take first in Market Share and second in Cumulative Net Income and Stock Price but we also got 100 in our presentation! Perry’s comments are as follows:
Team 1D,
I have graded your final presentation and want to give you feedback on it. Please see my comments below.
1. Initial Strategy In beginning your presentation with your mission statement and three-point Our Strategy slide you made your initial strategy immediately clear. Moreover the explanation that you offered for why you developed the strategy that you did (based on your collective, personal backgrounds) showed that you had thought deeply about what your strategy should be and developed a strategy to which you all were committed. This level of analysis, to realize why you developed the strategy that you did, was remarkable.
2. Strategy Change Your discussion of how your strategy changed during the simulation was, for me, the best part of an outstanding presentation. You did an excellent job of illustrating your early strategy and talking about how it changed. In the How our Strategy Changed section of your presentation, you did a good job of succinctly explaining how and why your strategy changed overall. But I was most impressed by your self-identification of the strategic drift that you experienced as a team. This self-identification again showed that you had thought deeply about your simulation experience and analyzed yourself. This was simply outstanding.
3. Teamwork It seemed that you worked well together as a team and you did a good job describing the communication norms that you developed.
4. Decision Making Excellent. You did a good job of describing both your decision-making process and structure.
5. Key Strategic Moves The secrets of your success you offered seemed right on-target. It seemed that the eight factors that you listed as the secrets of your success were the factors that indeed contributed most to the success you experienced. When I saw your slide it seemed to me that every other team could have learned from your experience. You made a lot of good strategic moves.
6. Current Position You did a good job of indicating where your firm currently stands overall in the simulation and where each of your vehicles stands.
7. Would Have Done Differently The three points that you suggested where you would have made changes if you had it to do over again (financing stock vs. bonds, miscalculating demand, and COGS) were right on-target. I think these are exactly the three areas of concern in which different decisions made have resulted in better outcomes.
8. Company Future You clearly showed that now, at the end of the simulation, you are in a great position as a firm. Based on your position, I agree with your assessment that I think that you could have been able to takeover the industry leader position in stock price and cumulative net income. Moreover I thought that your proposals for the future were strong. You did not simply state that we will continue doing what we have been doing. You showed that you had thought about your future and you offered specific, innovative ideas for your future. I particularly liked your plan to acquire firm E.
9. Lessons It seems that you really engaged the simulation and learned a lot from it. The lessons you offered followed perfectly from your experience, and again, you demonstrated that you had thought about your experience and extrapolated from it in developing your lessons. You did a good job.
10. Questions You did a good job of answering my questions.
Simply put your presentation was outstanding. You exceeded all expectations that I had for the final presentation. Therefore I gave you a 100 for your Case Presentation score.
