Discussion
Within the GLO-BUS simulation, your team should complete the first-year decision, Year 6. This Year 6 decision will be graded. Go to the GLO-BUS Web site and review the Year 5 information on your company's operating results. You may wish to print a copy of the Year 5 company operations reports to easily review the information.
When you complete your team decision activity, as a team, write and submit a short paper (approximately 1-2 double-spaced pages) analyzing your team's previous and current decisions, and your anticipated results. Each team member must submit the same paper.
This paper is meant to be a rolling analysis assessment, which looks backward and forward in time. It is not expected you will have a full and complete picture of that particular week's results, prior to writing the paper. The intention for this assignment is for you to indicate:
• What strategy you will be implementing.
• What your most recent decisions are, and why.
• What your current view of the anticipated results is.
• Optionally, where you are going in the future.
You should relate your analysis to your team's overall strategy, explain why you made the team decisions you did, explain the results, and describe the short- and long-term business and financial implications of your decisions.
Prior to submitting your post, review the GLO-BUS - Decision for Year 6 Scoring Guide to ensure you have met all of the criteria.
Note: The GLO-BUS decisions are assessed by the online simulation software. Your instructor will use the assessment feedback provided in the simulation as well as the scoring guide criteria to determine your grade for this assignment.
Reminder: Even though the project description document is named GLO-BUS - Peer Evaluation, it will give you all of the information you need to complete this project. In addition, the scoring guide at the end of the project description only pertains to the peer review that you will be doing in Unit 10. Though it is a good idea to become familiar with the peer evaluation criteria, use the scoring guides attached to each GLO-BUS activities to find out how you will be evaluated for the activity.
