Welcome to Jorge
Jorge are a major manufacturer of
sportswear selling to an international
market. They have 3 factories and a
long history of providing good working
conditions for its employees.
Like every business, Jorge has a number
of stakeholders (people or
organisations that have an interest in
the businesses operations).
The stakeholders include
customers, suppliers, employees,
local and national government as
well as the owners of Jorge
themselves.
Like any business, Jorge must pay
attention to the needs and
demands of these stakeholders if
it wishes to be successful.
The Stakeholder Game
Your team are the management of
Jorge hoping to build on the company’s
previous success over the coming
months.
Your team will be presented with a list
of 28 possible strategies for Jorge. You
are going to choose one strategy for
each period. The game will last for 12
months. You can not choose the same
strategy more than once!
Each time you choose a strategy you
must bring your choice to the tutor at
the front of the class where your choice
will be given a score. Each strategy
gives a score (between -4 and + 4) for
each of the 5 stakeholders listed.
Your score is an accumulative total of
the scores of the Customers, Suppliers,
Employees and Government.
Your team must try and get the highest
score possible.
Your Shareholder score does not count
to your overall score. However, the
shareholder score must be above zero
otherwise your main score does not
count. You must always keep the
shareholders happy!
The winning team is the one with the
highest Stakeholder score. Should
their be a tie, the team with the
highest Stakeholder and highest
Shareholder score will be declared the
winner.
