This paper is a reflection on three simulations as each relates to strategic planning. The first simulation‚ “Thinking Strategically‚” highlights the importance of environmental scanning. The second simulation‚ “Developing Grand Strategies‚” challenged decisions made for a company which lead to effective strategy formulation and choices. The third simulation‚ “Creating a Strategic Road Map‚” provided a simulated experience of how to build a strategic roadmap focusing on the importance and effectiveness

mapping consumer expectation of the product. The motorcycle company Thorr Motors perceptual maps were used to create a marketing plan to aid in maintaining a high brand image of their motorcycles. The Marketing Dictionary defines perceptual maps as a "process by which consumers ’ perceptions of an existing product are charted" (n.d.‚ para. 1). In this paper the three phases of the simulation‚ the situation‚ recommended solution‚ and results will be discussed. In addition there will be a discussion on relationship

In our first year we used the consensus demand because we did not know the dynamics of the group‚ and we were relying on their expertise to guide us toward a more accurate forecast. As we progressed through the simulation we came to the realization that the consensus
