Background
Review
your results from your CAPSIM simulation. You really want to dig deep into
your data and review the performance measures you chose earlier in the course
to determine whether your Rounds 2 through 6 decisions positively
affected those measures.
Throughout this course, you have been
tracking the financial performance of your organization in CAPSIM, and you
have been looking at performance reports such as the Balanced Scorecard and
the financial information in the Courier and related financial statements.
Instructions
For
the Signature Assignment, an investor audience presentation reports an
examination of company performance compared to the strategic plan and
objectives. Examine the Courier and the Balanced Scorecard results and
compare them with the competition. What industry conditions changed? You will
create a PowerPoint presentation supplemented by an investor memorandum in
which you report and analyze your company's performance concerning the
following:
- Describe the industry conditions that existed when you
started.
- Using all of the performance measurement tools you examined in
this course (Financial Measures and Balanced Scorecard), compare the
state of the company after the end of the six rounds with the state of
the company before starting. Is the company in better or worse shape?
How so?

“I had large profits in Round 1”. Indicate that you “had profits of
$4,565,000 in Round 1” or whatever the case may be.
