Atlantis Simulation
The Atlantis simulation shows the platform of supply and demand in a real estate/rental market. This simulation shows what causes the fluctuations in supply and demand from the need to increase occupancy rate to an influx of new residents due to growth within the local economy. These factors are direct implications of the constant changes happening to supply and demand within the Atlantis community. When occupancy is low it shows there is an increased supply of apartments available to rent.

This same concept, along with many others, can be applied to any industry to help make educated decisions… if read …show more content…
Online education, like formal education requires a certain ratio of teacher to student in terms of how many students can be in one classroom. Also, in addition to the Faculty there are a number of other support position in academics, finance, new student advising and career services just to name a few.

When you have a steady increase in the demand of an industry for over 20yrs and suddenly the demand dissolves due to a change in government regulation, there is no way but down. Example, University of Phoenix has been the leader of the online education market for over 15yrs. Recently, there has been talk of new government regulations pertaining to students’ financial aid which will effect the number of students eligible to attend this university which causes the market to freeze and the demand to decrease leaving an organization unable to support their own
