Evaluation of Team Baldwin's Success

I played for the Glendale Bears for the 2010 and 2011 seasons, and during that time I learn the values of unity and comradeship. Being apart of the team showed me how it didn't matter about the background that we came from, but instead about the bonds we created and the effort we put in. These values while important at the time have proven to be vital in everday life and have help me become a better player and a better

The Jonathan Alder football team finished their regular season on Friday, October 28 with a victory against their conference rivals from Fairbanks. Despite that the final margin of victory sat at just 14 points, the Pioneers manhandled the Panthers for much of the game. Alder headed to the locker room for halftime winning the game 35 to 7. Their offense was headed by touchdown receptions from junior quarterback Preston Eisnaugle to senior fullback Hunter Maynard and junior receiver Dalton Potts. Rushing touchdowns from junior running back Jamie Dye and senior fullback Austin Fooce, who ended the first half by bulldozing the Panther’s defense for his second score of the game, also added to Alder’s offensive production. Dye would finish the game

Along with capacity, we also made it a focus to limit the amount of overtime and second shift workers. This kept our costs down and our profit margin wider. We paid attention to our inventory on hand and made sure to not schedule more production than was needed. Towards the later rounds, we really seemed to grasp the idea of the game, which can be seen in our large increase in profitability. In the Finance portion, we borrowed money in the first five weeks to pay off our current debt. As the game got into the later rounds we began paying off our current and long term debt because our profits were increasing at a higher rate. Overall, we believe that our group had a decent understanding of the concepts as we finished with high market share and profits.

During the middle of the simulation My stocks were doing incredible. All of them were up! Which made me want to cash out but I decided to test my luck and see if they go up even more. Resulting in me losing money later in the simulation. My abbvie shares went up to 143.82($12 increase), my Panera shares went up to 251.26($3

I learned from playing the Capsim simulation that you have to pick a strategy and stick with it. It is important to be patient in making decisions and each decision builds on the next. I also learned that forecasting inventory is very difficult to do. Changes in the market and what other teams are going affects how much you think you will sell and need to produce. This game takes a lot of research and evaulating the reports from round to

In the first few rounds of Andrews Capsim Simulation, our best resource in terms of highest market share was Adam- which was positioned in the high end segment. Adam had the highest price of any human group which we were competing against, and we also had the highest level of awareness of any company that had market share. Due to how high our level of awareness and price were for Adam, we attempted to focus our efforts on this segment. Our strategy was originally one of value, competing in the high end market, and it worked well for the first two rounds but our capacity increased unexpectedly in the second round and we were forced to take out emergency loans to cover our surplus of capacity. We then changed our strategy to focus more on price,

Conversely, there are challenges to the company that bring team BaldWIN to a competitive disadvantage. The percentage change in reduced labour costs (2.95%), reduced material cost (6.39%), and increase in demand (6.37%) are one of the lowest compared to the rest of the teams within the industry. The amount of emergency loans ($37,984,892) BaldWIN had to take out also puts the company in a major disadvantage.

My assessment of the performance of our team (ACC-Baldwin) in Phase One is that we performed decently in terms of strategy, but we have a lot of room for improvement in terms of implementation of strategy in the simulation exercise.

6.) The Wilkerson Company original case is not effective and accurate without including an ABC analysis. ABC allowed us to assess the business performance of each of its businesses including: Valves, Pumps and Flow Controllers. This enabled us to realize that the Flow Controllers business is not profitable with a Gross Margin of -11.31%. I recommend specifically solving the problem of pre-tax margin going from 10% to less than 3%. The strategic decisions that need to be made are improving the unprofitable Flow Controllers business unit, while simultaneously increasing the sales of the more profitable Valves and Pumps business units. I would capitalize on the highest margin business of the Valves. Specifically, I would develop marketing strategies on how to grow market share in this business. I would assess what we are doing in this business and I would reapply it to our other businesses. This would include evaluating and eliminating costs in the other business units,

By this point of the paper it should be obvious to why these teams are hated. Mentioned by a participant “There's only like 4 good teams in the NBA”. So if your team isn't on the list of super team, they’re most likely not going to make it very far in the season. It is now a fact that “You are not competing for a ring without one (Super-team)”. About 20 teams in the NBA are disregarded because their teams don’t hold as much depth, we all agree since when asked this question on the survey, the only answers received were either the Cavs or the Warriors. From an interview a Milwaukee Bucks fan said “I feel sorry Giannis, guy is legit a monster, but I don’t think he’ll be winning a championship without a couple of more super stars on his team”. Giannis Antetokounmpo, is a future MVP and NBA allstars, 6’11, with a 7’0 wingspan with the biggest hands in the NBA is a “monster”, and is respected due to his potential being only 22 and is projected to be the best player ever. But like the previous year he was swept out the playoffs, due to the face that his team cannot play against the other super teams. He can hold his own during the regular season where they probably meet a couple of times, but once they are placed to play them for almost 7 games; 1 person cannot make the

The factory has been running for 50 simulated days, and management has recalled the high-powered operations team (you) to manage the capacity, scheduling, purchasing, lot sizing, and contract quotations to maximize the cash generated by the factory over its lifetime. Management is not providing any operating budget beyond the cash generated by the factory itself. You will have control of the factory from day 50 to day 386. At 1 hour per simulated day, this translates to 14 real days. At day 386, you lose control of the factory, and the simulation will quickly run another 100 days of simulation. When you lose control of the factory, management expects you to leave the factory parameters set to maximize the factory’ cash position when the factory shuts down on day 486. After the simulation s ends on day 486, you can check the status of your factory, but the factory will no longer be running. Team scores and ranking are based “cash balance,” which

The objective of this paper is to critically analyze and reflect upon my group experience as a member of the “Earlybirds” team. The focus will be on the group dynamics, which will be evaluated in the light of the organizational behavior concepts and theories. Throughout the paper the considerable advantages of group work will be outlined, as well as its systemic associated negative aspects. Moreover, the individual contribution to the work, as well as the overall team’s performance will be evaluated. In the conclusion, main learnings and critical suggestion for me to be applied in future groupworks will be provided.

On the outside looking in, it might have appeared as though I was the older brother out taking fielding practice with the younger kid brother while waiting on the rest of the team to arrive. In actuality, though, I was the team’s head coach. While this seemed a bit unorthodox, as my mom was having to drive me to my team’s practice, this did not deter me from investing in my kindergarten-aged players. As a young fifteen year old, I quickly learned that I would be able to play ball with the kids but I would have to also be able to balance the expectations of parents, interact with other team coaches, and be a voice of reason on game day. Coaching first-year players is often times similar to herding cats. Each boy clamors to bat first or

Willy’s Candy Company issues earnings statement that does not meet its business strategic prospect. The company has indicated a scrawny sale from its current two main products, namely Willy’s Yummy Chews and Willy’s Sour Straws, while trying to introduce an assertive pricing with a combination of incentive trades. Notwithstanding, Willy’s strategy has failed over the years. In this pose, the corporation is attempting to resolve strategically its malfunction, and expects net sales growth for the current fiscal year to be relatively strong.

Our company Andrewss performed very well in the practice rounds and we are adhered to our mission statement. It is clear from the statistics related sales and net profit. At the start of round 0 total sales were $40,800 and net profit is $2494, which is 1.2% of the
