| | |
| == Competition on creativity ==__NOEDITSECTION__
| |
| In the game we do have two types of competition:
| |
| * the commercial competition in the market of your hotel trying to make profit and beating the competitors. More on this inn the page [[competition|market competition]]
| |
| * the competition in the game. You are playing this game with a build in ranking, a competition as well!. There are two rankings on which you can focus in this game.
| |
| ** [[Competition on net profit]]
| |
| ** Competition on creativity: more information down here.
| |
| | |
| The ranking in this competition will be effectuated by points. You can earn these points for the competition by doing innovative and creative things. This sounds a bit vague: how exactly can you do this? Well, it's partly up to you and your coach might give you some hints.
| |
| | |
| == Do we have to compete in the game? ==__NOEDITSECTION__
| |
| In the market you have to compete. Every team will always automatically participate in both competitions (on profit and on creativity): it is up to you if you consider this a specific goals for your team. Of course a competition is fun, but some teams choose to run their hotel in a proper way without caring to much about the competitions, which is just fine. Still, of course you will always have to be competitive and distinguish yourself from the competitors. So a fair amount of creativity is always needed. <br>
| |
| You can end the management game and earn your study points (ECTS) without winning ''any'' competition as long as you meet the requirements we have set for the game. And you can do very well in the project and have a beautiful hotel, a good strategy and a lovely logo etc. and still not be in the top three of your competition and city. So a good ranking contributes to your marks, but a bad ranking doesn't have to be bad news for your evaluation at all.
| |
| Your evaluation of the total of the [[mark|game depends]] on much more then just the ranking: the most important thing is consistency and living up to your [[strategy]].
| |
| | |
| But if you are really in to competing on creativity, you can do this be trying to be an innovating and creative team. But don't forget, as stated before: your assignment is to keep (make) the hotel financially healthy and to keep it independent anyway.

| == Competition on creativity == __NOEDITSECTION__
| |
| The competition on creativity means that we make a ranking every operational year in all of the cities. All of these rankings reflect only the situation in that city, as the markets are not connected. So if you compete in the city of Amstelburg, and there are 10 teams playing, the ranking of the top three only will be revealed. This ranking will be made for <br>
| |
| - the creativity points earned in any operational year <br>
| |
| - on the basis of the total of all of the creativity points over all of the years played.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| This means that you can have a very creative year two, but your year one was less creative and not innovative at all. This could mean that your overall position in the ranking might not benefit that much by this one year result. Of course, this also goes the other way around: just ''one'' brilliant creative idea can make a team clime several places in the creativity competition.
| |
| | |
| After each year this top three ranking will be announced by the coaches and visible on your teamsheet. <br>
| |
| The team with the highest number of points in any city after all of the years played will
| |
| The final winner of the competitions of ''all'' of the city's will gain the creativity award.
| |
| | |
| Of course you are not alone! So it is all in perspective: if all teams are very creative, you have to be even more creative to be outstanding and to attract the customer in this way (see page on [[competition]])! And the [[prisoners dilemma]] is something to keep in mind.
| |
| | |
| == How to earn your creativity points ==__NOEDITSECTION__
| |
| Any team gets creativity points in each year. Each year is rewarded separately from 0 to 10. The highest total of these point after all 4 years wins the competition in that city! <br>
| |
| You can earn points by being creative, innovative and explaining this to your coach in the
| |
| explanation which you give on your decisions each year.
| |
| So what can you do? <br>
| |
| * Your strategy, name and logo.
| |
| * Your booth and activities on the Trade Fair.
| |
| * The Three Minutes of Fame contribute to this part.
| |
| * In all of the years promotion is a good item to be creative.
| |
| * Actions on any other field, not specifically mentioned.
| |
| * Innovations
| |
| * ?
| |
| | |
| Always keep in mind that the creativity should be in line with the total strategy of your company!
| |
| | |
| == Overall winners on creativity of this game ==__NOEDITSECTION__
| |
| We have told you before that there is no interaction between the cities: that much is true.
| |
| But when all of the hotels have finished there competition in there city there will still be one overall winner
| |
| * on net profit: the team with the highest profits reserve after all of the years
| |
| * on creativity: the team with the highest number of points for creativity after all of the years.
