The All Star World Series Team Exercise: An Experiential Learning Exercise Dealing with Various Organizational Behavior Issues

Abstract

The “All Star World Series Team Exercise” is designed to allow those participating an opportunity to deal with a number of organizational problems within an imposed time constraint. The exercise requires a total community to plan, organize, coordinate and develop an organizational entity capable of collecting the necessary information and determining the “All Star World Series Team” for a particular decade. As such, groups participating find themselves dealing with such issues as delegation, authority, responsibility and interpersonal communications. The ultimate goal of this exercise is to simulate the reality of organizational life with all its pressures and dilemmas.
