Final Report: Online Simulation
Final Report- Online Simulation
The report is intended to be an Audit of your team’s simulation goals, strategies, decisions, and outcomes. In essence, you should describe the goals that you set, the strategies that you used, and the decisions that you made throughout the simulation. You should also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these decisions in light of what you have learned about HRM from the text and lecture material throughout the course.
You should consider questions such as:
- Why did you make certain decisions? What effects did you think they would have on the various indicators of the simulation (e.g., morale, turnover, etc.)?
- What decisions worked for you as you thought they would? Why?
- What decisions did not have the effects you thought they would? Why not?
- What would you do differently if you completed the simulation again?
If your group experienced any major deviations (especially budget), you should include a section in which you discuss:
(1) the source of the deviation and
(2) what remedial action was taken or should be taken in the future to address it?
The report should be typed using Times New Roman or Calibri 12-point font, double-spaced, and max. 7 pages in length, PLUS graphs or other appendices.
The report should be sufficiently detailed to explain the HRM simulation results to someone who has no familiarity with the decisions you made during the project.
Writing quality (e.g., spelling, grammar, structure, etc.) is very important.
The Final Report will be graded according to the following criteria:
(1) Completeness
- All requested information is included
- All key questions are addressed in a complete and accurate manner
(2) Depth of analysis
- Discussion of the possible reasons for the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of various decisions is thorough
- Potential linkages between decisions and various performance indicators are discussed, drawing on text and lecture material as appropriate to make these linkages
(3) Clarity and quality of structure and writing
- Layout and format of the report are professional.
- Writing quality: spelling, punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, etc.
Peer Evaluations
Each team member will be required to evaluate the contributions of other team members in relation to the overall performance and functioning of the team. These evaluations will be completed independently from other team members and kept confidential from them. Although in most cases individual group members will receive the same final grade on the simulation project, the instructor reserves the right to adjust individual grades downward if it is determined that certain individuals’ contributions to the project were inadequate.
