  Team Member Guide 5 The Capstone Courier

Customer purchases and sensor company financial results are reported in an industry newsletter called the Capstone Courier.

The Courier is available from two locations:

  • On the website, log into your simulation then click the Reports link;
  • From the Capstone Spreadsheet, click the Reports menu.

The Courier displays “Last Year’s Results.” The Courier available at the start of Round 1 displays last year’s results for Round 0, when all companies have equal standing. The Courier available at the start of Round 2 will display the results for Round 1.

Printing the Courier can make it easier to review. From the Excel spreadsheet, click the printer icon; from the website, click the Print link under the Courier’s Table of Contents.

Successful companies will study the Courier to understand the marketplace and find opportunities. As the simulation progresses and strategies are implemented, company results will begin to vary.
