What Greg is Learning

Well, the game is on instead of a final. My goal is a big fat “I told you so” to all my teammates as my team cruises to victory, but I’m concerned for all the same reasons that I didn’t want a game in the first place – business games are arbitrary little models. Often they’re designed to demonstrate to students how easy it is for a business, a supply chain, or an industry to collapse. And they’re good for that. Hell, think of all the industry heads you kind of wish had more experience watching that happen in simulated environments.

As an assessment tool? Horrific. And (*cracking knuckles*) it’s time to show them why.
