Shirly:
There are lots of management simulation games that are used in
graduate programs to teach leadership largely through teamwork
although they also teach many more management skills too. There are
other management simulation exercises that can be run on your
computer that are really geared more toward computer models.
Following are some specific simulation games for various courses and
fields of study that you might find useful:
Here is information about the highly regarded "Top Management Game"
by Alev M. Efendioglu

Here are some computer/internet applications that you might be
interested in:
SimZone is an Internet-based management simulation game from
Powersim:

Here are some Advertising Management Simulations courtesy of the
University of Texas (both software and internet based programs):

AIRLINE is another Strategic Management Simulation Game:

McGraw Hill offers a Sales Management Simulation game that seems to
be widely used:

The management simulation games that are developed for team building
in conjunction with graduate courses are often proprietary to the
graduate school and even the professors that write them.
Consequently, another suggestion would be to contact the management
department of any top graduate school to see if they might offer some
suggestions to develop a management simulation of your own.
The University of Pittsburgh program includes a management simulation
game - contact info here:

Here is an example of a book used in a Sales Management course -
"Sales Force, A Sales Management Simulation Game by Irwin"
