impact on attitude and motivation

The EIS Workshop

The optimum number of participants is between 12 to 16 students. A computer is needed
for each group of 4 students. The installation of the software on each PC takes less than a
minute (software available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese).

The EIS Workshop will take 5 hours:

1. Introduction to Simulation and Business Vocabulary^5 (45 minutes),


2. Introduction to Simulation Scenario and roles (15 minutes),


3. Play Phase 1 (30 minutes) – in teams of 3-5


4. Discussion (15 minutes)

5 Some of the business vocabulary used in the simulation will have to be explained
before and during play (what is an Executive Information System and why is it useful, what
is a subsidiary, a memorandum, a CEO, etc...). Thus an indirect benefit of the experience
is knowledge of terms used in business.
