Australian School of Business School of Organisation and Management MGMT1001 Managing Organisations and People Everest Report Semester 2, 2014: Assignment 2 Wei-er Hu z5019068 Executive Summary This report will provide a critical analysis of the two Everest teamwork exercises and the experiences and results that accompanied completing the simulation. The report will delve into the magnitude of factors that influenced the exercise and provide a scope into the methods of analysis that is utilised to examine management models. Preparation for the first simulation undertaken was very limited and as the interface and procedure was foreign to all our members, decisions were made out of impulses which subsequently lead to ineffective communication and a lack of group direction. The second attempt allowed us to adopt a more proactive approach, a more attentive communication system and a shared responsibility for group leadership. This report also provides a multifaceted overview on the different intragroup conflicts that arose during the simulation, examining the various effects it had on the team’s performance and how it impacted our experience. This report also discusses t heories and concepts such as grouping modelling elements, benefits and hindrances of conforming and conflictions.
