I just visited the campus for Ambassador's day and attended same System Dynamics lecture twice. One lecture was with MBA cohort and second one was SFMBA cohort.
AND BOY WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Here are my observations about the behavior of two cohorts while discussing PeopleExpress Airlines / Don Burr case using System Dynamics method:
- Roughly half the MBAs read the case study, while most of the SFMBAs had read it.
- Hardly any comments from MBAs, while SFMBA made the case livelier with relevant comments.
- MBAs added generic things to the model like fuel, tickets, etc. While SFMBA added some in-depth things like capital costs, leasing airplane, tiers of tickets, etc.
