You’ll be graded for that competition against your “old industry peers” but UVU will assess the outcomes of the entire class relative to other universities and colleges using Capstone at the same time. Prerequisites You need to be taking Mgmt 4800 Strategic Management concurrently since the Lab uses concepts covered in the co-requisite course. All the same prerequisites for Mgmt 4800 apply to this course. UVu's Honor code in this course The honor code (UVU Undergraduate Catalog) will be strictly enforced in the classroom. The honor code standards apply as follows: - Do not cheat or support those who do cheat (see the Catalog for definitions if your parents haven't taught you to recognize cheating and its variants). - Do not plagiarize others' work – whether it’s competitive decisions or reports. (Work submitted or uploaded that has been written, analyzed, coached, or dictated by another, but is not explicitly attributed to them constitutes plagiarism and will be given a zero grade. Since there is no way to “attribute” decisions of others to them (as there might be in a research report) plagiarized decisions constitute cheating per se. - The decisions made during the team and individual competitive rounds are to be entirely your team’s or your own work. During the Individual Competition “coaching” or other advice given or received while in the Classroom Testing Center (or any other approved testing site) constitutes cheating. Offenders will receive a zero for the Individual Competition. Additionally, if any decisions are uploaded to the simulation outside of the CTC (or other approved site), or after the Competition ending date and time, will constitute cheating and the person so uploading will get a zero for the Individual Competition. Course format The typical “one-credit class” model expected by some undergrad students doesn’t apply to this class. That’s because you are… - learning a new software in which a very competitive simulation is conducted, - finalizing your own incomplete knowledge from functional area courses (in competition with others, some of whom are not so incomplete), - practicing team structuring and management, and - putting strategic management tools and concepts into play. The surprise some feel is because they’re used to one-credit classes that are designed to familiarize students with business. This is a lab designed to allow you to finalize your learnings and demonstrate your competence at business competition. The work needed to familiarize is different (mostly passive/reflective) from that needed to finalize and demonstrate competence.Mgmt 4830 Syllabus (version of 24-Aug-11) p. 3 of 6 Because of this, the workload in this one-credit class doesn’t plot out like the typical one-credit class but is front-loaded with successful students spending a lot of time in the earliest third of the semester and much less in the latter two-thirds. The figure (below) illustrates the rapid-fire nature of the class in implementing strategy in a new industry. After a few weeks of individual and group practice, it’ll be just as if you and your team had “parachuted” into a new firm. You have to
