Megan was over information specialist, also known as the IS, in our simulations process. Numbers have never been my thing but I thought I understood what was going on at the beginning and soon realized I had no idea. I went through the budget thought I had it all figured out and then Megan showed me hers and I saw that I did not do it right at all. I felt as though Megan did a good job with the budget and keeping the notes but was not as organized as I would have been much bothered me a little bit. I also found myself wanting to take notes as well so that I would know what was going on but after awhile I got the impress that it was annoying Megan because that was her job.
We chose to sell 18 of the pairing package that cost us $150 to buy and we sold them for $300. We also chose to sell 6 of the extreme package that cost us $300 to buy and we sold them for $600 dollars. This way we doubled our profit with every package we sold. It was interesting to see how much money and budget stuff goes into each corporation. I can only image a large corporation like Pepsi or McDonald's and all of the different employees that they only have to have but also the inventory.
Megan talked about the problems we had in the group with the budget such as expecting less people to come to the trade fair so we had to make backup orders to sell to everyone that was in attendance. And also as I said before selling our backups before we finished selling our original packages.
She also recommended to the GCB that we are allowed more money to spend. Overall Megan received third and I thought she deserved second because she was very persuasive and did a good job showing how our Corporation of Sports and Beyond thought we could make money.
