EVEREST MOUNTAIN

REPORT

Executive Summary

This report provides information about the result of the Everest Mountain simulation. The issues arising during the simulation will be listed and analysis based on the framework from MGMT1001.

The report also demonstrate the decision making, attribution theory and perception. After the simulation, what I learned from it will be presented using the management framework.

INTRODUCTION

        Nowadays, one of the most essential factors that builds up a strong and steady organisation is management. In any situations, with a well-planned and strategical management, probability of success increase considerably. Everest simulation exercise is not only a creative, realistic and very useful for students to understand a quite big number of Management course’s concepts but also teaches them how management skills are practically applied. There are six different characters in the simulation, which are team leader, environmentalist, photographer, marathoner, physician and observer. Additionally, there are six days to get to the summit of the mountain and five camps where the team must wisely select to stop on each day. Each participator has their own roles and goals. However, they need to cooperate in order to overcome many challenges and conquer the top of the Everest. The main goal of the simulation is getting as much both personal point and team point as possible. In addition, decision making process, communication and understanding individual behaviour play a very important role in team success since everyone has their own experience, strength and points of view. Therefore, the compromise between the members will be extremely necessary. There are there sections that are illustrated in this report. The first one is discussing the value of the simulations as learning tool by directing the issues encountered during climbing the Everest. Secondly, it will analyse the experience of simulation which based on decision making, attribution theory and perception. The final section demonstrate self-reflection and valuable experience that affect my future career after the simulation.
