Discuss these strategies before you make any decisions.

As you begin the simulation round, there are six strategies that need to be considered. As a team, you will need to discuss these strategies before you make any decisions. Each member of the team should review the strategy for his or her role. A consensus decision will be made by the team on the overall strategy for the practice round.

For the first round, you will need a leader in the following roles: Research and development, marketing, production, and finance.
