EagleRacing Overview - INSEAD CALT

Vignette 4 & Related Conceptual Models
All the dilemmas represented which the EagleRacing experience are complex and multi-dimensional.
The simulation stimulates therefore the discussion of relevant management trade-offs, such as:
‣Ethical issues vs Financial opportunities
‣Intuition vs Rationality
‣Information retention vs honest/transparent approaches
‣Integrating the insights of technical experts in management decision making
The richness of the management dilemmas typically generate a great diversity of responses, also
because all the decisions can have potentially very serious consequences (bankrupt or acquisition by
other company). It is here that participants are likely to contribute with their own experiences in
addressing such trade-offs during their daily business life, supporting everybody to appreciate the
diversity of perspectives (e.g. depending from functional or cultural background) and reflect about ways
to combine different perspectives and identify solutions to the trade-offs presented.
This dimension of EagleRacing facilitates hence the introduction and discussion of concepts and company
experiences addressing particularly the Competency “Business Acumen” which is particularly relevant
for the Area “Profit Consciousness”
