Raise II: First Year Experiences with a Personnel Simulation

"RAISE II, A Personnel Simulation is a simulation designed for use in management, personnel, general business, and small business classes. It was designed from a series of short individual lectures and assignments in personnel. From this series of short individual projects and assignments, and input from students and businessmen, the twelve basic modules of RAISE II were created. RAISE II, an acronym for Recruitment, Analysis, Interview, Selection, and Employee Evaluation, is a personnel simulation in which participants assume the role of Personnel Assistants for a company which specializes in the performance of personnel activities on a consulting basis. The manual explains that the founders of RAISE II have developed expertise in all areas of personnel, enabling them to accept contracts ranging from the performance of a large part of a company’s personnel work, including job analysis, testing, recruitment, interviewing, selection, wage determination, training, and employee evaluation.
