Georgia Southern MBA business team recognized
STATESBORO — One of the student teams in the Georgia Southern University MBA capstone class, Global Business Strategy, recently finished in the top 4 percent among approximately 1,200 graduate level student teams who competed in the CAPSIM Capstone business simulation.
Randy Brunson, Kimberly Collins, Phil Helmey, Matthew Lovett and Matthew Repella collaborated to achieve their simulation performance.
The academically rigorous simulation, widely used by MBA programs throughout the world, involves decision-making related to running a fictitious electronics component manufacturing company for several time periods.
Teams make decisions related to all of the functional areas of a company during the course of the simulation by utilizing complex data from a variety of sources and employing analytic tools taught during their MBA education.
The decision-making processes required by the simulation prepare the students for the decision-making responsibilities that upper level management typically encounters in their leadership roles.
