SimVenture ReportAssessment Question and Marking Criteria
Your Task
To run your SimVenture for three years.
Question
Reflect on and discuss the process of running your SimVenture for the first three years of the business. Critically evaluate the strategic decisions you made and the consequences of those decisions for the business. Include material from the lectures and relevant academic literature in your report to support your analysis. Wider reading tends to be associated with higher marks.
The report should include the following:
• The name of the business and details about the management team (group members and university IDs)
• The unique ID of the game used to create the final report
• Background information from SimVenture detailing conditions at the starting point of the business. For example the financial position, the market conditions and the competitive environment (in the appendix).
• Submissions should be a maximum of 25 pages (equivalent to approximately 10,000 words).
(excluding references and appendices)
• Report format
• An electronic copy must be uploaded via Turnitin to LEARN where it will also be checked for plagiarism
The writer just needs to finish the report for year 2.
