Project Evaluation Results (englisch) 1. Vorbemerkungen Im Sommersemester führte der Fachbereich Wirtschaft nach mehrsemestriger Planung zum ersten Mal das internationale Unternehmensplanspiel MAGEUR (Management Game Erasmus University Rotterdam) an der Fachochschule Hannover durch. Das Planspiel wurde von der Hanzehoogeschool Groningen D. A. de Vries und Johann Boosman betreut. Die Organisation in Deutschland haben Hans Gühlert und Günter Hirth, sowie die Studierenden Maja Tiburski und Dejan Boskoski übernommen. Neben den betriebswirtschaftlichen Fähigkeiten waren hier insbesondere auch die Soft Skills gefordert. Die beteiligten Studierenden kamen aus sehr unterschiedlichen Ländern, so z.b. Finnland, China und Holland. Da die Arbeitsgruppen bewusst gemischt wurden, kam der interkulturelle Aspekt bei der Zusammenarbeit nicht zu kurz. Auf der Abschlussveranstaltung hatten die Studierenden Gelegenheit, einen Fragebogen zur Evaluation auszufüllen, dessen Ergebnisse hier vorgestellt werden. Insgesamt waren die Studierenden zufrieden mit der Veranstaltung, so dass über die Durchführung in der Zukunft bereits nachgedacht wird. Einige Statements der TeilnehmerInnen: I had a lot of fun, good luck next year!... overall good, I had a good time in Hannover, Thank you! 2.

14 Comments on Manual: bad -> not all info that I needed was in there, very boring to read average -> not complete not read it The manual is not detailed enough manual could be improved e.g. how to use the programme should be clearer -> screenshots of the computer programme could be included in the manual -> step by step samples for one period with all actions/decisions that would be possible to take The manual is not detailed enough a list with a short listing of all exceptions from the rules should be handed out with the explanation better explanation of Bus, Factories and sales office handling should be given Prof. Dr. Hans C. Gühlert, Folie 9

15 Comments on Computer Program: average -> a lot of breakdowns in our group parently it is very necessary to perfect software. output - / input errors after handing out the results, the disc could not be started trials were helpless, cause we had no idea how it works Prof. Dr. Hans C. Gühlert, Folie 10

16 Comments on Game: In General I found the game interesting, but the initial methods of financing could be improved. My opinion is that we should be allowed to start one own company by accounting share / or rising fund in order to finance one business venture Three people per group would have been a better idea the girls were in one group next time : 3 members per group more explanations concerning the comp. program trained Person should be around all the time office should be in the big room It took way to long to get the results sometimes Prof. Dr. Hans C. Gühlert, Folie 11

17 Comments on lectures and instructions: average -> we only got one, that one was ok which instructions, too little time Better information about the game before balance sheet etc. Administrator didn t take enough time to help when problems occured Better explanation how the game really worked in order to be able to enjoy and work correctly with the game The intorduction to the program should have been much more detailed. dificult to catch the game leader more trials Prof. Dr. Hans C. Gühlert, Folie 12

18 Comments on Orga: There was a lot of time spent on waiting. Could be more efficient - a lot of waiting to reduce time while processing the results of the year (by instructors) Be on time, please - Please, be on time SCHEDULE!! TIME TABLE!! - Please be on time next time!!! Thanks for that nice time, only the organisation went wrong, to long time between decisions and results, no power in rooms etc. try to follow the time schedule better too long breaks too much waiting time between handing in the floppy and the results I felt we spend more time waiting than working some side activities should be arranged No time for shopping, timetables were always behind Prof. Dr. Hans C. Gühlert, Folie 13

19 General Comments: I had a lot of fun, good luck next year! I thought it was a brilliant idea to use EU money for a sponsored educative holiday in Germany. Well thought of!! A bit more free time and towells would have been nice. I have good time in Hannover, Thank you Prof. Dr. Hans C. Gühlert, Folie 14
