- Description:
- To create more effective learning environments for a strategic management, system dynamics modelers have recommended the use of computer simulation models as a supplement to conventional case studies. Although custom designed simulation games provide students with the opportunity to investigate the effects of alternative actions, their creation involves considerable development efforts. Moreover, available simulations provide on direction for using case information to discover systems thinking issues and solutions. In this paper we demonstrate how instructors can introduce feedback concepts to students via conventional case discussion. Specifically, we show how feedback processes can be woven into a case discussion involving issues of corporate diversification and restructuring.
