A simulation is a tool, which replicates a work environment as the setting for assessment. Participants are observed and assessed in a business context, asked to deal with important business matters, and make important decisions. They may also be called upon to lead a team in resolving a business issue, or to demonstrate ability to think through and solve business problems.
From the above, it is possible to make realistic predictions of their on-job performance.

Simulations take various forms such as Business Games, Role plays, In-Basket exercises, Fact finding exercises, Case discussions, Analysis presentations, Leadership Games, etc.
