The ':EIS Simulation'
The Change, IT Innovation and People Manageme·nt Challe·nge
1.0 Introduction
In the 'EIS Simulation', you will be challenged to introduce an innovation in a subsidiary (Teleswitches Ltd) of the EuroComm Corporation.
Your mission, as formulated by EuroComm Headquarters, is to spend the next 6 months trying to convince the Teleswitches top management team to adopt an Executive Information System (ElS) which will increase transparency and peJiormance corporate-Wide. .
As displayed in the enclosed screens of the simulation, you will be able to choose among many different initiatives to meet your goal. In some cases, you may gather information on the managers (for example who drinks coffee with whom, etc.). In other cases, you may take direct action to try to convince the managers and thus influence their willingness to -adopt the proposed innovation.
Each time you implement an initiative, you will receive feedback about the impact of your decision immediately. The objective is to get as many adopters as possible in the sryortest time. The following screens illustrate in more detail the purpose and the main elements of the EIS Simulation, and explain the navigation of the screens, should you' have any difficulty.
Start by reading the Mission (Section 2) to better understand the context in which
you and your team Will operate.
The rest of the manual (Section 3-6) just explains in more detail the user interface of the software you· will be using during your mission.
