An Evolutionary Classroom Experiential and Computer Simulation Model of a Corporate Strategic Planning System

Abstract

A decision support model for a student-designed strategic planning system for a complex conglomerate is described. This model involves both computer implementation and human processes. Each year the model is modified to match the real-life dynamics of the conglomerate it represents, which have been considerable. Also, each year the model further “evolves” as students alter, improve, or add to it,
