The decision schedule developed by your instructor indicates the number of decision periods that you and 
your co-managers will be running the company. You should use the practice decision(s) to become 
familiar with the software, digest the kinds of information provided on the screens and in the reports, and 
get a glimpse of what to expect before your management team’s decisions start to count. All of the 
decision screens and the report screens have Help buttons linked to explanations of what the various 
numbers mean, descriptions of cause-effect relationships, and advice and guidance on what to think 
about—the Help sections, along with the short Video Tutorials, will answer most every question you have.
