Research in Simulation:

In the actual simulation, you would research where you

wanted to invent a new product by studying the market
segment pages in your reports (pages 5-6).

In summary, to invent a new product you would do the

following: Research the opportunity in the segment in the
Courier. Select appropriate product attributes - Performance,
Size, MTBF. Display the R&D worksheet. Enter the product
attributes. Note the R&D completion date. Display the
Production worksheet. Order capacity and automation
(optionally, wait a year). Display the Finance worksheet.
Fund the plant with stock and bond issues. Save the
decisions.
