This games consist of 5 teams and a facilitator. The aim of the
game is to earn as much money as possible.
The teams are divided with each team having an equal number of
participants.
Each team will decide which department they would like to be in,
namely:
Finance
Human Resource
Research And Development
Marketing
Customer Service
After the teams have been decided and agreed on, each team moves to
5 different areas. Each team will not know what the other teams are
discussing about.
The facilitator will now start the game by walking around and
asking each team to select either an "X" or "Y". The facilitator
will do this 12 times.
Depending on the choice each team make, the following results will
occur:
1 selects "X" 4 selects "Y"= All who select X earns $40. Y loses
$10
2 selects "X" 3 selects "Y"= All who select X earns $30. Y loses
$20
3 selects "X" 2 selects "Y"= All who select X earns $20. Y loses
$30
4 selects "X" 1 selects "Y"= All who select X earns $10. Y loses
$40
5 selects "X"= All teams Loses $10
5 selects "Y"= All teams earn $10
After every 3 rounds, the facilitator will call for a department
meeting. Each team will appoint a member to represent them in the
meeting. During the meeting, department heads are allowed to
discuss their opinions and ideas and, if possible, work out a
solution.
The maximum amount the company can earn is $600. 5 teams X 12
=$600
