M.B.A. Orientation Simulation for Managing Time and the Areas of One's Life

Abstract

This simulation exercise examines the academic, personal and social life of new graduate students entering an M.B.A. program. The assumption is that each student must consider and program these areas of life, in order to maintain a balanced personage, and fulfill the necessary demands of a graduate program. The overall goals of this exercise are: to explore a novel way of managing time; to enhance an awareness of the three main areas of a students life (academic, personal, social); to experience and learn ways of resolving conflicts common to new graduate students; to provide a role playing situation for students.
