Reengineering the integrating management exercise and marketing game
"Enterprise"
"Enterprise - An Integrating Management Exercise" is a PC simulation
created by John R. Hauser from the "Sloan School of Management" at
the "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" and published by "The
Scientific Press" in 1989. Its main goal is making students understand
the basic concepts from competitive strategies, marketing, production and
statistics.
Originally the simulation was DOS-based and development has not been continued.
Nevertheless, the strategic marketing issues underlying "Enterprise"
are still a part of various marketing courses hold at Universities and other
educational institutions. The aim of this project was to transform the simulation
into a modern web-based application. Students from all over the world should
be able to participate in an international simulation exercise.
The software analysis was a two-steps process and consisted of the reverse
engineering of the original version and the definition of a new design. It lead
to an three layer-architecture inspired by the Model View Controller-paradigm
(MVC). The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was used for the graphical notation
of all created documents. Java Servlets were used for the implementation of
the object-oriented design. The webfrontend was build with the template/script-framework
called "WebMacro". After the implementation of the prototype was completed
the reengineered application was evaluated in a real-world test at the "Vienna
University of Economics and Business Administration".
M-IT collected extensive knowledge concerning the design and implementation
of web-based multi-user simulation systems in every stage of the development
process. New projects are going to make use of the created framework and technology.
