The Rehearsal Simulation is a mentored exercise that is performed individually. Each Rehearsal round, a coach will guide you through the decision areas.

Round 1 of The Rehearsal covers R&D decisions, Round 2, Marketing, Round 3, Production and Round 4, Finance.

To launch The Rehearsal, open Capstone.xls. A message box will appear.To do the Rehearsal Simulation, select "The Rehearsal Simulation."

A coach appears via a dialogue box inside of the spreadsheet. The coach takes you through each decision area (accessed from the Decisions menu). The coach will prepare you for the Team Practice and Competition rounds. After each rehearsal round, you will save your decisions. As you do so, you will be asked if you want to go on to the next Rehearsal round. If you are ready, click yes.

Note: The website will not show that you have completed the Rehearsal Simulation if you do not advance to Round 2 or beyond.

Note:  During the Rehearsal, everyone is employed by the Andrews company, even if you are assigned to a different company!
