Evaluation and Grading
This is a performance-based seminar in which the student is evaluated on his or her ability to unequivocally demonstrate the skills, understanding, and competence expected and required of someone soon to graduate with an M.B.A.


      • Plan & Analysis 25%

      • Assignments 25%

      • Quizzes 25%

      • Final Examination 25%

As defined in the University catalog, letter grades reflect the following levels of achievement:




  • A =superior work; achievement so outstanding that it is normally attained by relatively few students.

  • B = very good work; achievement clearly better than adequate competence in the subject matter/skill, but not as good as the superior achievement of students earning A's.

  • C = adequate work; achievement indicating adequate competence in the subject matter/skill. This level will usually be met by a majority of the students.

  • D =minimally acceptable work; achievement which meets the minimum requirements of the course.

  • F = unacceptable work; achievement that fails to meet the minimum requirements of the course.

When it is possible to obtain quantitative evaluations of various elements of the course (e.g., midterm and final examinations, briefs), the following grading scale applies (note: pluses and minuses will be assigned, as appropriate):


90% - 100% = A

80% - 89% = B

70% - 79% = C

60% - 69% = D

below 60% = F
Strategic Plan & Analysis: Responsible Consultants
We will have the opportunity to apply the concepts studied in the course to actual business situations. The cases discussed in this course will introduce you to a variety of industries, companies, and managerial styles, and they will broaden your experience of business strategy and policy. As part of a group effort, each student will assume the role of Responsible Consultant one time during the semester. Depending upon the size of the class, the responsible Consultants are charged with presenting a brief (i.e., approximately 30-40 minutes) oral case presentation to the seminar. 
Quizzes
The quizzes will be multiple-choice format, and will cover subject matter and materials included in the required readings, lectures, and discussions.
Assignments: Strategic Management Planning (System Dynamics) Simulation Tools
This course allows students to demonstrate how well they have mastered the art and science of business administration by providing them with an opportunity to administer a business in a simulated competitive environment. The business simulation experience is designed to provide participants with the opportunity to integrate the concepts and skills learned within our M.B.A. program.
Final Examination
The final examination will be similar in format to the quizzes, and it will cover subject matter and materials included in the readings, lectures, and discussions. The final examination is comprehensive.
Schedule

The schedule and number of assignments is subject to modification, sometimes the flow of the semester is different than I anticipated.



What is System Dynamics

System dynamics is a methodology for studying and managing complex feedback systems, such as one finds in business and other social systems. While the word system has been applied to all sorts of situations, feedback is the differentiating descriptor here. Feedback refers to the situation of X affecting Y and Y in turn affecting X perhaps through a chain of causes and effects. One cannot study the link between X and Y and, independently, the link between Y and X and predict how the system will behave. Only the study of the whole system as a feedback system will lead to correct results. http://www.systemdynamics.org/
