Abstract: Workforce variables routinely place top-of-mind for corporate decision makers in choosing where to locate. This article presents an experiential exercise in which students simulate human resource consultants in a site selection exercise. Suitable for face-to-face or online classes, students work individually, pitching their chosen state to other students. Ideal for a human resource management class, the exercise offers a unique approach to engage students in self-directed learning as they weigh the merits of myriad human resource variables. Students develop their analytical reasoning and persuasive communication skills while being introduced to the field of human resource management.
