Presentation of ARIANE, a two-day business simulation game

admin — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:01:10 +0000

http://www.essec.edu | Ariane simulation is a two-day business simulation game. Each group of 5-6 students forms an executive committee of firms that are in competition with each other. The simulation game deals with all the major aspects of management. The students have to manage their firm over several periods and take decisions on production, marketing, R&D and finance. On the market, each firm is in competition with 4 other firms managed by other teams. At each period, the decisions of a group are compared with those of concurrent teams and with a market simulated by a computing program. The objective of the game is to deal with all the components of management and the links between them. The objective of the game is also to simulate the management of a firm in a competitive environment, which implies rapid reaction adapted to any change in the market or in the policy of the competitive firms. On the human side, this training enables students to take into account the advantages and the difficulties in taking collegiate decisions and in working as a team.

___________________________________________________________

ESSEC began using simulation games when we arrived at Cergy. The implementation of business simulation games came from our desire to help our students see the interaction of company roles and understand the overall picture. The games that are most used at ESSEC today, Kallystée, Mirage and Ariane, go back to the early 1970s and our desire to create something for ESSEC. We have a wide range of students. First year students, profile-based admissions and Master’s students. This represents easily some 1,200 students per year. Plus those in continuous professional training, and the Mannheim Executive MBA program. We also have the MBA program established two years ago in direct liaison with Singapore, and a lot of executive programs. This amounts to about 2,000 participants a year using these games. Students arriving at ESSEC will generally go through this simulation. It makes for a surprise in their first days at ESSEC, and provides a chance to practice team building. Each student is given a working group, usually of 5 people. The first stage consists of getting to know the other students, distributing roles and tasks within the group, defining a common strategy together, and ensuring that the team endures over time in all the decisions made throughout the game. Among the different elements the students have at their disposal, apart from the software and the results posted on their screens, they will also have access to the results of the other worlds they are playing against. In particular the screens you can see behind me which show all of the results on the best sales, net accumulated income, etc. This promotes the sense of competition between the teams. In principal, the sectors can be homogenous or mixed. If they’re mixed and people have existing skills, they can share more of their knowledge through the game. We encourage people to show their skills to others, and also to take charge of unfamiliar areas. We want people to understand their gaps in knowledge and how to integrate that. In these games, we start everyone on the same basis. It’s not obligatory but we find it more fair. Then we place firms in competition in a controlled environment, and people can see their results. They state objectives, do case analyses, and tell us what they have understood. Little by little the game gets more complex, so once they learn certain things, they’re given new goals. We use these games heavily in our teaching at ESSEC. We’re one of the few schools to use them systematically, providing total immersion. Ariane and the other games at ESSEC are a big success because they provide large-scale internal support, especially in general organization and Information Technology. This year it allowed us once again to have video contact with Singapore. We began and ended the game together despite the time change with Singapore, with a final summary through video conference with students there. That was very interesting. We also have other projects coming up with the Mannheim Executive MBA program. We intend to do a mixture of work in small groups like we do here, and also games by correspondence with debriefs. This is all possible thanks to the technical and staff support of our teams.

Brain Enhancement and Anti-Aging Techniques

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:22:42 +0000

How to build your superior_mind with a side-order of anti-aging. I offer this advice based on my current internet findings – so it would be a good idea for us to continue to cross-reference any information we have with as much peer-reviewed material as possible.

Video Summary:
Excercise more – minimum 4 minutes of intense cardio – like circuit training for example and maybe 15 – 60 minutes of general cardio every other day (like swimming, biking, running or jump-rope). Proper nutrition – with lots of antioxidants and a good nights sleep. Blueberries, rasberries, strawberries – great for neurogenesis and age prevention. I also recommend including spinach and walnuts in your diet.
So intense cardio will improve oxygen supply to the brain and improve concentration for extended periods of time.
Other muscle resistance excercise will also help stimulate neurogenesis and have an anti-aging effect.
No smoking or drinking – at least try to minimize as much as possible. Alcohol is more destructive than most ppl realize and can effect future offspring.
I advise using pycnogenol which has a very strong anti-aging (or even reverse-aging with proper exercise and diet) effect.
Nutrition – no fried foods, no alcohol, no sweets – reduce glucose dependancy(ie: avoid fries, eat less bread, no cake, etc) and add blue or red colored fruit like blueberries, strawberries, rasberries, etc – to your diet. Also make sure to add foods which contain Omega 3-6-9(like flax, walnuts or tofu). Suppliments are also available(including vegan type supps).
[Side note - ppl who take SSRI antidepressants have been found to have improved memory, organization and reduced stress -- although they are unfortunately not safe to quit taking cold-turkey.]
To keep new neurons and build your superior mind, I stress the importance of engaging in a variety of stimulating(interesting/enjoyable/addictive) activities which require learning, creativity, and logical strategy.
Learning to play an instrument is one of the most recommended ways of doing this. I also suggest composing music you like or any sort of improvisation(like rap or something). Strategy games improve your ability to tackle complex problems quickly which is beneficial to handling real life-problem solving in stressful situations. Programming games, websites, modding(computers, cars, bikes, etc), art, writing, dancing, singing, etc.. Anything that you enjoy which stimulates dentrical connectivity.
Sleep is extremely important! Something I never realized until more recently. This reduces stress, improves focus/concentration, also helps neurogenesis, and heals your body building new muscle tissue(from excercise) – housekeeping basically. Drink a lot of water before you go to sleep, make sure it’s dark and quiet(and not too hot), and try taking melatonin an hour or 2 before you go to bed every few days to keep your sleep schedule in check. (Not too much too often cuz you’ll get used to it and work as well for a while).
Ginko Biloba will also improve blood flow in the brain and help reduce aging.
Eat less and reduce glucose dependancy
Drink green and or black tea.
I must stress the importance of excercising your mind with enjoyable/stimulating hobbies which require extensive use of the elements of your mind that you wish to strengthen the most.
When sleeping you may notice more dreaming(and more realistic) than usual – which is a normal side-effect.
Increased use of the brain and reduced glucose dependancy might make you feel sleepy and taxed at first which is also normal — you’ll adapt.
I find the best way to fire-up your true potential when it’s needed – is to have some toast and peanut-butter(high protein) and a couple cups of coffee.
