An MBA Business Simulation: Executive Interaction

Abstract

The need for MBAs with more substantial real business training is critical in today’s business environment. CEOs have found that the biggest problem with newly minted MBAs is their lack of supervisory skills, communication abilities and leadership qualities. To facilitate the development of communication skills and the ability for the professional presentation of analysis as is required in the corporate workplace, the Oklahoma State University College of Business Administration MBA program established the Executive Interaction business simulation. Student’s work together on a case which is presented to a Board of Directors comprised of business leaders.
