Regarding natural/physical environment forces, the simulation might have simplified factors like weather patterns or environmental regulations. In the simulation there were bikes adapted to different physical terrains but its impact on product, output and the supply chain was ignored. For instance, it may overlook the impact of extreme weather events on production and distribution networks or the stringent regulations governing waste disposal and emissions. In the real world, ignoring these forces could expose the company to operational disruptions, increased costs due to compliance violations, or reputational damage from environmentally harmful practices. For example, if the simulation doesn't simulate extreme weather events, the company might not adequately prepare for disruptions in the supply chain, leading to delays in product delivery and customer dissatisfaction.
Social/Cultural Forces:
Social/cultural forces in the simulation oversimplified demographic trends or cultural preferences, neglecting their influence on consumer behavior and market segmentation. For example, it might generalize consumer preferences without considering cultural nuances or evolving societal values. In the real world, cultural differences and societal shifts can profoundly impact product demand and brand perception. Failure to account for these forces could result in misaligned marketing strategies, product offerings that do not resonate with target audiences, or missed opportunities to capitalize on emerging trends. For instance, in overlooking cultural preferences for eco-friendly products, the company might not prioritize sustainability initiatives, potentially losing market share to competitors who do.
