The ABW IT simulation is an extension to the manufacturing-based simulation and further challenges participants to make decisions on the implementation of performance enhancing Information Technology. This model is concerned with not only the revenues and the costs of production, but also the best choice of IT solutions to make the company as successful as possible by further reducing costs to a level where the revenue from sales exceeds the cost of making, advertising and selling that number of products.
