An Orientation to the Oklahoma Farm Management Game

Abstract

The general objectives of farm management instruction are to teach the student (1) to integrate concepts and information from the biological, physical and social sciences in making decisions and (2) to apply modern decision-making procedures to the problems of a farm business. Evolvement of largescale, business-oriented farm firms has required emphasis on all managerial functions, but particularly planning, implementation and control. Introduction of gaming has increased opportunities for providing students experience in implementation and control, as well as planning.
