NBA 5710 - Cornell Management Simulation


Spring. 1.5 credits.

S. Sauer.

You’ve learned finance, marketing, operations, accounting, economics, management, leadership, statistics, and strategy. You’ve done a deep dive into at least one of these subject areas. But how do they fit together? How are they used to actually run a company? The Cornell Management Simulation elective course will give you the chance to form a team and run a company that will compete against your classmates in a simulated industry. At the beginning of the simulation, each team develops a strategy, and before the results of the last decision have been determined, presents an analysis of its performance, lessons learned, and its strategy for the future in a “board of directors” meeting. The first course meeting is 4 hours to introduce the simulation and its mechanics as well as a discussion of company strategy. Future meetings are weekly for 2 hours which includes time for teams to review their performance and work on their company decisions. Grades are based on the value created for the company’s shareholders (relative to other firms in the same industry), the team’s strategy, and the instructor’s evaluation of team’s performance at the board meeting. The course may be taken for a grade or pass/fail at the student’s option.
