How you Impact, or are impacted by, the Supply Chain

Play  this interactive game, which puts you in the seat as a CEO or CISO.   You have a new software program, and this is truly technology that  transforms.  But you face choices, and your decisions have impacts. In  the last part of your final, list your results and decisions you would  have made differently.

Once it loads, click the red button to start.  Keep notes on the decision you make, and the result.  There is no right or wrong, so don’t “game” it.  Challenge yourself, have fun, continue learning, and  post your analysis as a 1.5 page paper.

-In the first page, show your  decision and the correct decision (if different) and why it is the best decision in a matrix

-screen shot the final simulator results and  paste it to the bottom of the homework.  In the final paragraph (the  last 0.5 pages), discuss how you would use what you learned in the decision making process to manage the supply chain. 

Supply chain management includes  all processes starting from the development of a product or service and  delivering it to the final consumer.  A targeted attack can do more than  just bring major corporations to the brink of catastrophic collapse.  This is the weakness of the supply chain.  Decision making as a CEO,  without the detailed experience of or background in key topics such as  the SW development, is difficult. Yet it’s something you must be  prepared to do in this ever changing world leading technology that  transforms, since no CEO is a subject matter expert in end-to-end  corporate domains. So through this exercise we want to relate the supply  chain and technology to your leadership decision making. In this  exercise, the supply chain is represented by those aspects that are  reflected in the precautions / risks of an attacker impacting the SW  rollout, and is further impacted in the supply chain by the media  interaction. The Supply Chain will create the many and various  challenges upon which you will make decision, and has to be considered  in terms of the strategy, differentiation, competitive advantage and  profitability goals.  

Tie your results in the game to supply chain  decision making lessons as you lead a company in technology that  transforms! 

To repeat from paragraph 1 of the assignment instructions above, here is a summary of your assignment instructions: 

Part A) In the first page,  show your decisions from the simulator, along with the correct decision  (if different) and why it is the best decision. You may use a matrix if  that is helpful; also, include a screen shot of the final simulator  results and paste it to the bottom of the homework.  

 Part B) In the final  paragraph (the last 0.5 pages), discuss how you would use what you  learned in the decision making process to manage the supply chain issues  in Technology that Transforms.
