Lost at Sea, Instrument (Simulation Manual) - Jossey-Bass Pfeiffer

In this classic simulation, a group is stranded on a rubber liferaft with minimal supplies including:
* Fishing kit
* Mosquito netting
* Shark repellant
* Shaving mirror
* Two chocolate bars . . . and ten other items

Participants work individually, then as a group, to assess theitems salvaged from a yachting accident, based on their value forsurvival. Results are then compared with the expert rankingssupplied by the U.S. Merchant Marines. Through self-scoring, thegroup immediately sees how well they performed.

Timing: 1-1/2 hours

Audience: Work teams--4 to 9 team members may participate at onetime--several groups may be directed simultaneously
