Welcome to Jorge are a major manufacturer of sportswear selling to an international market. They have 3 factories and a long history of providing good working conditions for its employees. Like every business, Jorge has a number of stakeholders (people or organisations that have an interest in the businesses operations).

The stakeholders include customers, suppliers, employees, local and national government as well as the owners of Jorge themselves. Like any business, Jorge must pay attention to the needs and demands of these stakeholders if it wishes to be successful.

Your team will be presented with a list of 28 possible strategies for Jorge. You are going to choose one strategy for each period. The game will last for 12 months. You can not choose the same strategy more than once!

Each time you choose a strategy you must bring your choice to the tutor at the front of the class where your choice will be given a score.
