Simulation

• Business A• 1 volunteer (owner)

• Business B• 3 volunteers (shareholders)

• Step 1 (August):• Business A, set the price for

t-shirts• Step 2 (September):

• Business B opens up a store across the street, set the price for t-shirts at store B

• Class: Which store will you shop at?

Simulation

• Step 3 (October):• Business A, respond to the t-shirt price of Business B• Class: Which store will you shop at?

• Step 4 (November): • Business B, respond to the t-shirt price of Business A• Class: Which store will you shop at?

• Step 5 (December)• Repeat process• Class: Which store will you shop at?

• Business Person A• You own a successful t-shirt shop on

Castro Street. You are just one shop but you’ve managed to stay in business because you are the only t-shirt shop on Castro Street. Recently, a t-shirt shop opened up across the street and it’s part of the national chain, Shirt Me Up, that has stores all over the nation. You are worried about losing some of your customers to them but you are willing to cut prices and offer sales if it will keep you in business.

• Basics – t-shirts cost $6 to manufacture and you currently sell them for $12.

• You need to make at least a $2 profit on each t-shirt in order cover the cost of your rent and pay your employees.

• If you lose money for more than a month then you will not be able to pay for your rent.

• Task: Respond to the sales ideas from Person B in competitive ways in order to stay open.

• Business Person B• You are a local manager for the national t-shirt

company, Shirt Me Up, that has stores all over the nation. You are currently managing the new store that just opened up on Castro Street. There is a t-shirt shop already on Castro Street, but you are pretty confident you can drive them out of business since you can draw on money from the national office.

• Basics – t-shirts cost $6 to manufacture and your competitor currently sells them for $12. They need to make at least $2 profit on each t-shirt to cover the cost of rent and employees. This is true for you also, but you can lose money for several months in a row because your national office will cover your costs.

• Task: Start the competition by telling the shoppers in your group that you are willing to offer t-shirts for $10 and ask if they will shop at your store instead. No matter what your competitor does, respond by offering your t-shirts for less money. It doesn’t matter if you lose money, because eventually they’ll go bankrupt and then you won’t have to compete with them anymore. When they go out of business, raise your prices to $20 a t-shirt.

3. For those of you who played a pink card even once,

why did you do that?

that everyone won?

5. Can you think of something from history or real life that

has a similar dynamic to this game?

14.3 Formation of unions

• The green card represented joining a union.

• The pink card represented “scabs” or workers who crossed the picket line.

• What is this land of America, so many travel thereI'm going now while I'm still young, my darling meet me there

Wish me luck my lovely, I'll send for you when I canAnd we'll make our home in the American land

Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees*And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees*

Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands*If you make your home in the American land*

There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in songDear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working manWho will make his home in the American land

I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spireI wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire****

We made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two handsAnd I made my home in the American land

“American Land”- Bruce Springsteen• There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song

Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night longThere's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man

Who will make his home in the American land

The McNicholas, the Posalski's, the Smiths, Zerillis too**The Blacks, the Irish, the Italians, the Germans and the Jews

The Puerto Ricans, illegals, the Asians, Arabs miles from home***-*****Come across the water with a fire down below******

They died building the railroads, worked to bones and skinThey died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind

They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dyin' nowThe hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down

There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in songDear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working manWho will make his home in the American landWho will make his home in the American landWho will make his home in the American land
