Seven measures of performance are provided. Many simulations have this type of feature. An illustration of the scoreboard report appears on page 45 of the participant's manual. Selecting the Measure of Performance Total enterprise simulation by design are intended to be competitive. Teams in an industry compete for market share and often time the strategy of one team is designed to have adverse affects on another.
Many students automatically perceive that the team with the greatest net income is the winner.
However, the measure or standard of profit performance must be defined by you in your role as instructor or simulation administrator. Performance could be defined as net income, net operating income, sales, ROI assets, ROI equity, or market value per share. Many simulation administrators use only one measure of performance while others use multiple measures. The MMG Scoreboard allows you as the game administrator to set your own weights or simply use the default rates. Net income, as a single measure of performance, is always very popular with students.
