M.Com. (Enterprise Management) / South African managers will in future be more exposed to the turbulent environment as experienced by their overseas counterparts. The application of the strategic management process by competent management could enhance the organisation's chances to succeed. A number of local studies have proven that South African managers are lacking experience in the strategic management process. Few organisations can afford the losses that may arise through bad decisionmaking by inexperienced managers. The only alternative is to supply quality management training and development programmes. Management training for South African managers of the nineties should be adapted for local conditions without losing sight of internationally applicable principles. At the same time alternative methods of training and education should be investigated. Computer Based management simulations can be cost effectively applied in the preparation of management for the nineties. The purpose of this study is to determine the requirements for an appropriate computer based management simulation for the training of South African managers in the strategic management process. The process of strategic management and the identification of the strategic issues relevant to the South African manager are specifically addressed
