ERPsim Games in Management Higher Education
No full textThe ERPsim simulations have been used in the past decade mainly to help students discover real-life skills in the classroom environment within higher education and to promote better decision-making skills. To date, these simulations have aided numerous instructors in teaching business processes in Information Systems courses. This paper reports on utilizing the games in a new context within senior level, undergraduate, managerial decision-making classes in universities. The main objectives in introducing this simulation to the students was to give them exposure to the use of business information in tactical and operational decision-making.. By implementing simulation business games within the classroom curriculum and modify the way in which the simulation was introduced over subsequent interactions of the course , the instructors were able to increase student satisfaction.

Synergos
No full textSynergos is a new business management simulation. Working in groups, participants analyse information, make decisions and receive results. Decisions are made over a number of quarters and the results include operational and financial outcomes. Background economic data and some performance data for other groups is also released each quarter.Initially, group participants need to decide on the roles which each person will take. It is generally advisable for each person to take on a functional role, e.g. finance director, production director or marketing director. The group can decide whether individuals will take on the role which they already know something about through their work or their studies, or whether individuals want to maximise learning by taking responsibility for a function which is new to them.The objective is to learn how operational decisions lead to performance outcomes. In particular, the simulation enables participants to further their understanding of how businesses operate and how to manage the finances of a company. In this version each competing compan
A Template Application for Managing Online Assignments
No full textI developed a Microsoft Windows internet-based computer application (GroupMaker) for managing online-submitted assignments that is optimized to make grading student assignments easier. The application controls student submissions with templates, is internet-based, and presents information in panels that forestall errors. Assignments can be targeted to individual, group, and section. Assignment time settings include begin, due, end, and graded. Allowed privacy settings include none, group, full, and their combinations. Students submit assignments by typing and cut-and-paste, which allows character-input limits to be enforced. A demonstration version of GroupMaker can be downloaded from https://wp.towson.edu/precha/
