ERPSim Game at Imagine RIT, May 2, 2009 (continued)
With the extra activity at the end of the academic year and then some vacation, I’ve been away from the Blogosphere and fallen behind on the news regarding ERPSim. I also forgot the procedures for posting to the Saunders College blog so that my posts were saved, but not visible. Hopefully all these issues are behind us now.
In an earlier post, I describe the ERPSim session that was going to be held as part of Imagine RIT on May 2nd.
As usual, the students proved they had better ideas for organizing the teams than I do. I had originally suggested that students would rotate from their team to the faculty team to support the faculty with hands-on transaction execution in SAP. The students concluded that this would be disruptive and suggested that the faculty be assigned to teams of students. So that is the way we organized for May 2nd.
The session received a number of visitors who were intrigued by the use of a management simulation game as an instructional tool. My emphasis in talking with them was the enthusiasm of the students and how that enthusiasm and the student’s competitiveness leads them to seek additional knowledge about SAP and the information available to them as they compete with the other teams.
We ran a game session of three business quarters. The winning team members were
- Lori Dosti
- Harshand Pairla
- John Peters
- Dr. Steve LaGrou
