In the 2019 edition, the minimum size of a plant should be big enough to handle all of the expected demand in that region so that you can avoid the tariff and extra shipping costs entirely. Creating a 1,000 capacity plant in L-A can be worse than creating none at all there because that's too small to minimize the fixed costs per shoe/unit produced. 4 Failing to create a new/large plant in Latin America. However, it can be very good to sell this whole factory later on in the game when you don't need it any more. There's a reason why you need this factory at the beginning of the game. Selling all or part of the North America factory early in the game is a big mistake. 3 Selling a lot of factory capacity without analyzing the consequences. The more you sell, the bigger the mistake. 2 Selling/issuing stock shares, particularly at the beginning of the game. If you don't know that the guide exists, then you haven't pressed the Help button on all the screens and read everything that's there.

If you don't read the guide at all, that's a huge mistake. 1 Failing to read and study the players guide as if it's a final exam study guide. I'm not going to explain all of these mistakes at this time because I want you to mostly try to figure out why they're mistakes on your own, first. Following are some of the most common mistakes that reflect this lack of effort. A lot of students spend only a tiny fraction of the time necessary to do well. Sorry to say it, but if you're in last place or doing poorly in the game, it's probably 100% your fault for not taking the game seriously by not spending the hours necessary to learn how the game works.
