Ferndale Fashions Ltd 1.20 Business Management Simulation Registration $29
SDN_BUSI JUN93 BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SIMULATION FERNDALE <ASP>
FILES: FERNV120.SDN
Author: Ben Leppington, CIM, RPA
Unique features of the program:
-------------------------------
To my knowledge, this is the only Management Simulation
available through Shareware. It has been endorsed by the Canadian
Institute of Management. Students can "sit in the Managers chair" for
one full simulated year (12) periods. Program provides instant and
delayed feedback concerning the decision choices being made. This
feedback takes the form of real life through numerous financial
statements, ratios, graphs, employee feedback and more.
The simulation involves the student being hired on as the
President of a clothing manufacturer, that uses a growing franchise
network for it's distribution method. The student is responsible for
and has control over every facet of the company during the simulated
year. The student will also face and must complete 12 mini-cases,
which presents an opportunity or a threat, depending upon how you look
at it.
The software is FUN and easy to use with the main-menu
headings being separated into functional departments of the company,
namely; Finance, Marketing, Production, Personnel and Other. Fully
menu driven.
Student manual is on the disk. Program is quiet for lab work
as there are no sound effects used. College instructors are freed from
collecting student data disks as calculations are automatic.
Reports can be viewed on screen or printed using any printer.
Programs Capacity or Limitations:
---------------------------------
Can be installed on hard-drive and an unlimited number of
students can use it, as they use their own data disks.
Unlimited number of decision combinations can be used and an
unlimited number of simulations can be performed ie; start from scratch
and re-run the simulation at period 1 again.
