Business Education Jam: Africa 2017

Some of the world’s fastest growing economies are in Africa – yet so are some of the world’s poorest. The literacy rate in Equatorial Guinea is 94 percent – 10 points higher than the global average. In South Sudan, its 24 percent. The world’s least developed continent, Africa is also home to countries increasingly attracting foreign investments. The role of governments, inconsistency of infrastructure, and diverse environment and history are each contextual issues to be considered. Given all of this, is a distinctive African management education model possible, achievable – or even advisable? Building on the success of the original jam, Business Education Jam: Africa will explore these issues – online and on site – to advance the global dialogue on management education.
