ABSEL (the Association for Business Simulation & Experiential Learning) is an American based association "whose purpose is to develop and promote the use of experiential techniques, simulations and assessment in the field of business education and development" It is very focussed towards business simulation and especially computerized simulations. It has a strong academic bias.
ABSEL members receive Simulation & Gaming and there is an annual conference.
Context is a National Centre and Network for promoting the use of case materials and simulations in higher education and employment. We are funded by The Partnership Trust and co-ordinated by The University of Leeds with the Careers Research Advisory Centre.
Context has been established with the aim of promoting the use of case materials in higher education and employment. Case materials are designed to meet the needs of students for group working, decision making and experience of work. They are based as closely as possible on real work situations and issues (in business, government and the voluntary sector). We are looking towards employers to help us develop materials and promote their use.
Although, SAGSET is based in the UK there are many overseas members. Its focus is much wider than computerised simulation for management development. It has an annual conference and members receive the Simulation & Gaming Research Handbook and a tri-annual news letter.
In 1995 I was proud to be awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study the use of computerised simulation for management development in the United States of America.
Each year, as a living tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, the trust awards travelling fellowships. These are designed to enable the recipient to gain a better understanding of the lives and work of people in other countries, and acquire knowledge and experience which will make them more effective in their work and in the community when they return.
