When team Andrews taken over a sensors production company, the industry was
splitting from one less-competition monopoly to several mutually-competition
companies. There are many serious mismanagement problems. Therefore, Andrews

simulations end, company’s performance has been improved effectively. Andrews’
cumulative profit ranked second with over 29.5 million, stock price and market share
ranked first in $63.62 and 35.8% respectively (Capstone Courier 2021).
In part 1, firstly, this report will analyze Andrews’s competitors’ production strategy
