HRQM Games
The last 3 days in the college we used to have a guest from the
Arnhem Business Scholl: Job Thinke. He is a teacher in HRQM (Human
Resource and Quality Management). We played a simulator. We choose
a business to be in. Job, Bozhidar, and two graduating students
from Arnhem ( one black girl and one guy from South Africa ) were
the teachers. We choose an industry (our group was some Open cars
producing company). Every peson of the team had to participate in
taking decisions and writting down the decisions in a decision
forms every form was about money we would invest in things which
would lead to accomplish a specific goals we had setted in the
beginning of the game, things like hiring more employees promoting
some of them etc. etc. were our work. The game was played 3 days
and it was like if we had run a 2 years long business. Our group
mistake was that we always thought about things in short terms. In
the end of the 2nd year of the game we had a discussion meetings
with our higher level employees and it turns out that we are the
poorest team because we always thought about the company in short
term instead of long term. During this 3 days there was also some
funny games for developing concentration and thinking and improving
communication skills. In general I think the whole think was a
great loss of time, but I'm a strange person ... Most of the ppl
liked involved from IBMS and Hotel Management liked the game very
much.
