Importance Ratings and Operations Data as Predictors of Business Game Performance

Abstract

Efforts to predict future business game performance in terms of such overall measures as rate of return on assets and stock market price hive not met with resounding success. However, the effect of including intermediate indicators, such as total sales volume, net income/sales, sales/R&D expenses, etc. for a number of teams in a multiple regression equation, to predict future return on assets or stock market prices for individual teams, has not been fully explored.
