Abstract

This is an empirical study that questioned Bryant College MBA alumni who graduated during the years 1982 - 1987 regarding their current evaluation of the usefulness of the required Strategy & Policy course that they took prior to graduation. The course is designed around a business simulation framework. It uses a mixture of teaching techniques which include: simulation, experiential learning, case studies and lectures.
