In order to receive credit for this portion of the course, all students must register on www.capsim.com no later than the registration deadline date indicated on the itinerary (Tuesday, January 24th). Failure to register in a timely manner will negatively affect the grade that you and your team achieve. Registration details are below.CapSim Registration InformationPerformance CriteriaYour team will determine the performance criteria that you wish to be graded against, and your criteria will likely differ from what your competitors select. Teams will not be able to see the criteria selected by their competitors until after the simulation is completed.Firms are increasingly being started and run by groups of individuals as opposed to solo individuals. Further, organizations are increasingly using project teams as they are better at executing organizational tasks. One vital assumption relative to the use of teams in business is that all members perform well and execute tasks appropriately and timely. Members who do not work up to the team’s/firm’s standards are often fired or reassigned to other duties. To align the team project to the real-life business world, the following policies will apply to teamwork.If a team member’s lack of contribution is hurting the team’s progress, that member may be fired by a unanimous vote of the team members. The fired member will then complete all remaining team assignments on his/her own. The presentation will be replaced by individual written analyses. The assignments are due the same day as presentation. A total of 20 points will be deducted for every 24 hour period these assignments are late.Alternatively, if an individual determines that he/she is unable to work in their team, they may either: 1) Try to find another team to join. The new team must unanimously vote the individual on to the team. 2) The member may complete all remaining team assignments on his/her own via written analyses. These analyses are due the same date as the presentation. A total of 20 points will be deducted for every 24-hour period assignments are late. Individuals who leave teams will receive grades earned on their team’s assignment during the time they were a part of the group. Any team member changes throughout the semester must be reported to Dr. Sullivan.Following the completion of several practice rounds, each team is responsible for developing a competitive strategy that they will follow and implement during the course of the simulation. The strategic plan is not to exceed 10 double-spaced pages (excluding the cover page and appendices) and should conform to the following formatting:Each plan should include the following:Managing the Enterprise MGT 490 Syllabus Spring 2012MGT 490-01 Tuesday and Thursday 10:30am to 11:45am — Miriam Hall, Room 109MGT 490-02 Tuesday and Thursday 12:00pm to 1:15pm — Miriam Hall, Room 102Professor: Diane M.
