I need to give some background on my and my teams background with the game. The game was challenging the whole way through. We struggled every week to get a consistent good grade (we were the lowest team each week). While trying to alter the prices weekly, keep good credit ratings, maintain debt, and purchase stock, I’m not sure no matter what move we made we came out on top. We underestimated the impact a small move would make on us as a company. Focusing on corporate citizenship/production/& ratio seemed like good ideas but still we could never make a good imprint in the game. Our company (which we name Swift Sneakers could not reach our fullest potential even with attempting different strategy’s. If you can summarize the following into a 2 page paper while adding details about BSG that would be great!
