Skyscape Challenge

You have 10 minutes to plan the way your group will build the tallest paper skyscraper with the resources and capabilities you have. The skyscraper cannot lean on anything, nor are you allowed to hold it up. It is possible to trade resources with other groups during the planning period. You may touch the materials, but please do not start building until the instructor announces that the building period has started. Your group will have 5 minutes to build your skyscraper.

1. Which resources and/or capabilities contributed to the success of the winning group (evaluate which were valuable, rare, inimitable and organized)? Were any of the resources or capabilities not valuable?

2. Did it help to trade resources? Can you trade capabilities?

3. Why did the winning group win? Better resources and/or capabilities? Better strategy?

4. Would the result have been different if all groups were given the same resources? Which group would have won then?

5. Did you change your strategy after the construction period had started? Why?
