It is based on theories developed in finance and engineering economy that are similar tothe “discounted cashflow” method of stock evaluation (Rahgozar, 2008, Becchetti et all, 2004,Rawley et al 2006). When at Unocal, my colleagues and I in the strategic planning departmentbuilt a model to forecast the stock price of Unocal during the take over fight with T. BoonePickens (McCoy, 1985). We used the model to predict the change in the stock price asinformation was relayed to the investment community. It was very accurate and was extremelyhelpful in the take over defense.The point of this project, as it was in the case of Unocal’s stock price model, is not to develop amodel

The project needed to be practicalenough to demonstrate in a game. As the teams developed the projects from concept and movedtowards implementation, they also needed to think about what and how to design anddemonstrate the project objectives in their game. In other words, teams were not designing agame totally independent of the subject matter involved in their project. Their project needed tosupport the course learning objective(s) – so this becomes an integrated approach. The gamesapproach also bring in some ‘randomness
