​​​​​​​​​​​​Doing Business in Southern Africa (June/July)​​

​This course aims to help students investigate the unique institutional and policy conditions in Southern African countries which will not only allow future entrepreneurs and managers to understand the challenges that will confront their businesses, but also allow them to identify the opportunities that this rapidly growing region offers.

The course will give students an acute knowledge of the development challenges facing Southern African countries and understand the growth of emerging Southern African markets and identify future growth potential.

Furthermore, they will get awareness of the additional social, environmental, and ethical considerations for African businesses.
