Emergency Loan

Question 1

Evaluate your team’s success in managing your company over the five rounds of the simulation. Your assessment should include some discussion in the areas associated with “Round Analysis” to include profit, margin, emergency loan, inventory, and stock price. Reflect on where and how your team might have been more effective in addressing each area. Be sure to provide your rationale for your conclusions with specific examples taken from your company during five rounds of the simulation and evaluate your abilities. Remember that your work is reflective in nature and should focus on showcasing learning that has taken place as a result of the activity.

Paper should be at least seven pages in length, not including a title and reference page.

Cite and integrate four credible sources.

Question 2

Post-it notes were invented when a 3M chemist was striving to develop a stronger, tougher adhesive but invented a product that retained its stickiness while peeling apart easily. This discovery, combined with a colleague who, six years later, while looking for a bookmark that would not fall out, created an innovative product used ubiquitously today (Glass, 2013). Innovation can occur in the most unlikely scenarios and can be found in the way a company is structured, the product or services provided, or the style of communication. Evaluate a company that has utilized an innovative approach to improve their positioning, profitability, or sustainability. Was there a time when being innovative helped you either professionally or personally?
