'Management Games' Set For December 12 and 13
A group of educators and industrial training people will meet at KU to play games Dec. 12-13.
The working meeting, sponsored by the School of Business, is designed to bring together developers and users of management games for the purpose of sharing past experience. The group will discuss future applications of management games as a research and training tool.
Management games are a relatively new business research and training tool. The School of Business has used the games in its summer executive training programs and to some extent in its graduate and undergraduate business courses.
James Surface, School of Business explained management games this way:
"In a management game a group of teams made up of a skeleton
organization of a business firm— salesman, production manager, accountant, and president—are each given a hypothetical amount of money.
"Each team makes the same product. Each team decides what it is going to do in the field of management decisions—discontinue a product, hire more salesmen, add new products, borrow money, buy new machinery."
The teams or firms are geared to operate for a quarter year, before an umpire collects operation data from the companies and feeds it through an electronic 650 computer.
The computer sorts and classifies the operation data and feeds it back to the teams in time for them to make management plans for the next quarter. Each quarter takes approximately 30 minutes to play.
The games usually last twenty quarters, before the data from each team is collected and evaluated in order to determine the relative success of each group in making management decisions.
Umpires evaluate operation results against mathematical tables drawn from experience.
