Congruency of Critical Performance Factors In Simulated and Real World Environments: An Exploratory Study

Resumen

A limited number of variables assumed to be of concern to Chief Executives in a manufacturing environment were chosen for analysis in simulated (The Executive Simulation) and actual companies. Return on Investment (ROI) was chosen as the dependent variable. Using multiple regression, four of six variables in simulated companies and three of four variables in the actual companies were found to be correlated with ROI. Comparisons and implications were discussed.
