For a few years we have observed the process of development of the simulation companies. On the one side they can enrich the offer of different educational units. On the other side, they serve to make the existing, traditional model of economic studies more attractive and complete it with the education of practical professional skills. Thriving of the simulation companies is caused by many reasons, mainly related to the transformation of the political and legal systems in our country. Free market and competition evoked the sudden demand for the well-educated, modern managers who can cope with the requirements set forth by the state undergoing the transformation process. The dynamic Polish economy needs the specialists who posses not only broad theoretical background but also hands-on knowledge of modern techniques implementation. All those factors require of the educational units, especially economy high schools, to look for such education methods that will be able to meet market needs and make their educational offer more attractive. Simulation company is to be an image of the authentic economic unit where all office and commercial operations are identical as those carried out in a real company except from product (service) and money which are fictitious. Such a company will allow, already at the high school level, for the completion of the student's knowledge with the education of the practical economic activities.
