During the simulation I felt, at times, like a stockbroker weighing his options knowing the immediate effects of such decisions are sometimes hard to predict. I scored well because I have a decent knowledge of major world cultures from my Comm class, and it was rewarding to see the Sheik was pleased with my decisions.

I work very linearly, and I expected my career to be very "one task, then the next..." This may all sound very naive. <br /><br />But taking this simulation contributed a bucket-load of perspective. In this new global era, the corporate world is sure to be dynamic, as it felt in the simulation. I had to constantly juggle clients and superiors as I tried to make sense of who to inform and how to get informed. I found myself actually feeling the heat of the situation, and it's shocking how each and every split-second decision had a profound impact on what was to come. I consider myself a kind and respectful person, but the Sheik and I didn't end up on the best terms. I was just ignorant of the cross-cultural risks behind many of my decisions.<br /><br />In short, I didn't score so well, but that simulation was very immersive! Thank you for sharing that with us.<br /><br />Matt Firmanimfirmanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764916919786634547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254154379289330664.post-57134252660560745472009-10-28T20:19:17.783-07:002009-10-28T20:19:17.783-07:00Jane,

I really had to think through the options, and it was great to get feedback on the decisions that I made. These issues are so important and this was really a great program. I loved the interactive nature.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254154379289330664.post-15610257380793544662009-10-28T19:31:58.203-07:002009-10-28T19:31:58.203-07:00Jane Smith,

Shortly into the simulation I found myself making decision as if I were truly in his position and wanted to complete the project. I even found myself taking notes at time to gain a better understanding of all the characters and their backgrounds. I also liked how the simulator gave feedback about certain choices and even made it feel like realtime with incoming phone calls and walk-in meetings.<br /><br />This program helped me realize how many different choices there are when replying to a client. I could email, call, send a personal letter, or set up a meeting all depending on the particular situation. I also enjoyed the feedback at the end of the program and my results for my managerial skills. <br /><br />Thank you for making this program available to me,<br /><br />Travis St. PeterAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330840737882850550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254154379289330664.post-30012546788058321852009-10-27T16:59:53.915-07:002009-10-27T16:59:53.915-07:00Miss Smith,

I enjoyed the constructive criticism involved when choosing an option that the other side would clearly weigh differently.<br /><br />When my father completed his MBA he talked about participating in a similar business simulation that allowed for graduates to explore the alternatives in business by using games. I am certainly glad to see that this simulation focuses on cross-cultural and international representation, as well as ODR.<br /><br />I also enjoyed the scoring at the end with the feedback, it allowed for me to fully comprehend the effects each of my choices made upon the success of the organization.<br /><br />I hope this simulation permeates the international business and legal world, as I have been exploring these areas in my legal studies class. This is certainly a great tool for both educators and entrepreneurs alike!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />All the best,<br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254154379289330664.post-78322791714791533812009-10-27T11:26:56.220-07:002009-10-27T11:26:56.220-07:00Jane,

What struck me the most was noticing my "standard" way of responding to the issues was to use indirect communication (e-mail) rather than direct communication. I also noticed that I just wanted to get it all resolved rather than do additional research or collect information from other parties first.<br /><br />This was a really valuable exercise and a great way to learn to identify weak spots. Everybody should try this!<br /><br />EdEd Rhollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671596839850290318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254154379289330664.post-67718241036969914112009-10-26T21:31:47.058-07:002009-10-26T21:31:47.058-07:00I think its a great idea how you can choose your o...I think its a great idea how you can choose your own path through this simulation. On the scale it looks like there is a positive and negative side. Is it possible to get negative. I realize the outcome is based on scores, but going through the simulation it didn't seem like any decisions i made could have led to a bad outcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254154379289330664.post-750036645292322132009-10-25T15:53:23.282-07:002009-10-25T15:53:23.282-07:00Jane,
