The backbone of all ABW programs is the computer simulated business model which requires participants to take over an established company, assume the role of management and make all necessary business decisions not only to run the company but to compete against other participant groups. We offer four simulations, for secondary students, Manufacturing, Hospitality , IT and Retail - Consumer Electronics and one simulation for Primary students, Retail - The Sandwich Shop, which have been developed exclusively for ABW.
