Published 17 October 2005
Learning Bursts are practical, interactive e-learning exercises developed by CIMA Publishing with the examiners. "Strategy Simulator" contains fun exercises to help you practise organising your answer efficiently and effectively. It places you in a simulated business environment where you are faced with realistic challenges. You are given an initial company profile and an assignment from your boss. You will analyse the situation and prepare a report on strategic choices. You are required to: identify relevant data from several environments; select and apply the appropriate analysis model; derive insights from the use of the model and make justified recommendations; and, create a structured report that meets the requirements of the assignment. Your boss will give you feedback, and let you know if you need to study the options again! Crucial skills developed are the building of strong reports with conclusions backed up by analysis of the available information. This is often overlooked, so polish up your skills now to ensure they come up to scratch on exam day.
"CIMA Strategy Simulator" contains 4 modules, identified by and developed with the examiners as key: Environmental Analysis; Stakeholder Analysis; Value-Chain Analysis; and, Balanced Scorecard.
