                             simulation to assist our learning of the management process. We were
                             responsible for creating a name for the team as well as the team colors, slogan,
                             fan base demographic profile, location. We also designed, constructed and

                             about the development and management of this team were made cooperatively.
                             The roles within the team changed for each project and our grades were
