The End!
Sadly, or not so much, we have reached the conclusion of the HR Simulation. As we compile the Final Annual Report, I'm finding many of my realizations about the second fiscal year very similar to those we made concerning the first. This is not a disappointing feature, as it makes our supplemental materials very useful in making this report. Our first annual report outlines many of the goals we determined and disregards the neglected methods we set forth in our team plan. The simulation journals, though seemingly meaningless, are handy for recalling which decisions we made during which quarter.
In relation to the in class lectures, it is obvious that certain topics are introduced in class to coincide with incidents in the simulation. This feature is interesting to me because despite how many times we may discuss performance appraisal in class, when presented with a "real life" issue in the simulation, I still find myself defending my original viewpointsand assume that my teammates are doing the same. I suppose if the new information is meant to reinforce current viewpoints, then we have found success, but as far as developing new thought processes, I see very little progress in myself and can only imagine the progress in others.
