Forio with Harvard Business School Publishing has released Version 2 of the Back Bay Battery Innovation Simulation based on the research of Harvard professor Clayton Christensen, author of The Innovator’s Dilemma.
In this online simulation, you play the role of the CEO of Back Bay Battery. Your task is to manage a portfolio of R&D investments for products in the portable power industry. You must manage R&D investment tradeoffs between sustaining investment in your existing business versus investing in a new and potentially disruptive technology.
Version 2 eliminates any use of Flash in the user interface so that the simulation can now be played on the iPad, through the browser. Version 2 also has an enhanced user interface and better reports for faculty to present and share student results in the classroom.
