The ABW IT Simulation is an extension to the manufacturing based simulation. It challenges participants in teams of 4-10, to take over a Manufacturing sporting goods company and make decisions on the implementation of Information Technology to improve performance, for a period of 8 quarters.Students will be competing against other teams locally, nationally or internationally.
The assessment value is calculated by the computer based on share price. The winning company is the company with the consistently highest share price across the simulated two year period. Share price is a reflection of how well the management team has run the company and maximised the performance indicators of After Tax Profit, Market Share, Return on Assets, Debt Ratio, Return on Equity, Total Assets and Gross Yield.
