Institute's Web-based Business Simulation
Brings Ethical Decision Making to Life
In
conjunction with the Olsson Center for Applied
Ethics, the Institute has developed a Web-based simulation, Turning
Gears Inc.©, as part of our commitment to provide
leading-edge business ethics curricula and learning tools
for current and future business leaders. The academic
version of simulation is now available for purchase
and an
online demonstration of the product is open for
review to the general public.
|
|
In the simulation, students take on the role of a
product manager in the highly competitive toy
industry and make a series of decisions through five
integrated case studies based on real business
scenarios. Through the process students learn that
“ethics” is not a specialized set of issues separate
from other business functions – rather ethics
issues are truly embedded in the day-to-day business
decisions that managers and executives make. The
simulation reinforces that successful companies and
executives put business and ethics together every
day. |

The simulation enhances a school’s ability to equip its
students to be tomorrow's leaders by drawing on the insight
of today's business executives to actively engage students
in:
- Evaluating and putting into practice various
decision making frameworks including: Stakeholder Theory
and Shareholder Value Maximization
- Making decisions based on incomplete information
- Considering the impact of decision making drivers
such as company mission statements, corporate
principles, personal values, career aspirations and
stakeholder responsibilities.

Unique features of the simulation include:
- Incorporates content from discussions with Fortune
500 CEOs, corporate executives, academics from several
leading schools and MBA students
- Utilizes an interactive, web-based macromedia flash
platform to give students the opportunity to make
real-world decisions and understand the financial,
social, and ethical consequences of their actions
- Takes less than one and a half hours to use
completely, either individually or in small-teams, in
addition to classroom discussion
- Successfully utilized by over 300 MBA
students.
