It is now 1/2/2012 (again), still at the beginning of Time
Warp 2. You have just completed your revised strategy using CVP analysis, and
you are ready to charge ahead. You implement your decisions for 2012 and time
flows by quickly. You see the results at the end of the year and you collect
these results to use later. Again, you implement your decisions that you have
already made for 2013 and collect the results at the end of the year. You do
the same for 2014 and 2015, hoping this time that you can finally move ahead
into 2016.

It is now New Year’s Eve, 2015, what you hope is the end of
Time Warp2 and more than that, what you hope is the end of the time warps
altogether. You have the results of your decisions. How did you do? What was
your final score? You are ready to celebrate. You want to celebrate hard and
forget this crazy time warp stuff. Will it finally be 2016 when you wake up?

It’s New Year’s day, 2016. You just had a great New Year’s
Eve celebration, you finished another four years of moving Handheld through
2012 – 2015, and are ready to charge ahead into the future. As you turn on the
TV and try to open your eyes, you notice something strange (again?). The TV
commentator is saying something about New Year’s Day, 2012. You have a sinking
feeling, and sure enough, it’s back to 1/1/2012. You groan and curse. When will
this time warp end? You are now in Time Warp 3.

Maybe you need to keep improving Handheld’s performance so
that you can finally move ahead. You avow to do better this time. And you think
your best approach is to develop your four year strategy like you did the last
time.

You analyze the results of your last set of decisions from
2012 to 2015. You have the data, you kept it all. And you are going to use CVP
analysis again to help you determine your new strategy. And you have a tool to
use, the CVP Calculator. You are going to get better at it.

You analyze the results from Time Warp2 using CVP and
develop your complete four year strategy. You decide to make notes about your
analysis and your reasoning process, just in case you have to do this again
(You are praying that you can finally move ahead this time when you get to
2016.)

You finish your report that shows the strategy that you are
going to use these next four years, Time Warp 3. And you stop and take a big
breath before you move ahead into 2012. (In other words – don’t run this
strategy in the simulation, yet. Just turn in this report.)

Please help me to:

Run the simulation with the Strategy that you developed in
SLP3 for Time Warp2. Access the simulation site Click here. Review and analyze
these results (Time Warp 2 decisions) and develop a revised strategy for Time
Warp 3. Make a case for this new strategy using analysis and relevant theories.

Please turn in a 4 to 6 page paper, not including cover and
reference page.
