1.    Community and Business: There is a special approach to the way business is understood and conducted in Africa.

In this program, the students will seek to venture further on this path through evaluation and participation.

2.    Business Development: One of the major concerns for sustainable development on the continent is that we do not cultivate a climate of hand-out through social grants and benefits, but that we do our utmost as a generation to encourage and participate in Development of new business. In this program we will seek for various opportunities to implement the knowledge attained through the MBA, in a practical and pioneering way.

3.    SA Government, law and commercial enterprise: Students will endeavour to understand roles and cultivate relationships with government officials and also learn more about the way Public Private Partnerships function in SA. Various initiatives will be investigated and analysed to understand the practical  influence that Government has on business. Some aspects of the SA Law where business is concerned shall be discussed as an overview by an Attorney.

4.    Leadership, Skills Development and business: Aspects of Leadership Development, mentoring and coaching, communication, team leadership and organizational development will be discussed. The special contextual elements of skills development, where the different SETA’s are concerned also deserve a brief.
