For Human Resources Management courses.

This simulation combines the human resource elements found in the real world along with the business environment found in this type of situation. This model will take the decisions from class “teams” and simulate how the labor marketplace and the organization will react. The relative “appropriateness” of each team's decisions will be reported on the team's status report furnished each decision quarter.

    • Gives students an easy-to-use menu.

  • NEW - Updated wage and fringe benefits—Matches the current human resource practice.

    • Gives students the latest scenarios in human resources.

  • NEW - Updated training costs—Now divided into two budgets: promotions and new hires.

    • Provides students with the latest, most relevant material.

  • NEW - New budgets—Included for human resource information programs, new employee orientation, performance appraisal, a formal grievance system, an affirmative action program, and an employee quality/management participation program.
