BUSINESS MANAGEMENT GAME, PART III: INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE AND MODIFICATION OF PROGRAM UMPIRE

Abstract

This document describes the use, modification and maintenance of program UMPIRE, a program written in JOVIAL for the Philco 2000, to be used in the play of the management game described in TM-1088. The program can be used to replace some of the manual operations involved in umpiring for this game, which is based on the Andlinger-Green game described in the Harvard Business Review for March and April, 1958 by G. R. Andlinger. While the document describes in some detail those umpiring functions which are unique to the use of the program, it relies heavily on TM-1088 and TM-1088/001/00 for precise descriptions of those functions which are common to players and umpires or to umpires with and without the program. Since the program does not deal with the financial statements, those aspects of umpiring which are concerned with them are not covered.
