Taking Advantage of Opportunities in Africa
|
The ongoing economic turmoil facing Europe and the US has led to the spotlight being focused on Africa as the next big market, which is home to a diverse range of countries, each presenting their own unique opportunities and risks. Political instability and security concerns on the continent are paid particular heed by investors – particularly those South African and multi-national companies which are looking to expand into these frontier markets.

Finance for Non-Financial Managers
|
The Finance for Non-financial Managers course empowers managers to more effectively communicate with accounting and finance people and to better understand the financial aspects of business decisions. Many operating managers have had limited exposure to financial data, are afraid of accounting statements and need to know more about this important business function. This course aims to "lift the veil".

The Expert Negotiator
|
Executives devote up to 85% of their time to negotiation. More often than not these negotiations have high consequence of error but are often left to intuition or “gut-feel”. This programme is designed for executives and senior managers who are involved in high-level, complex negotiations and require a framework to help them plan and manage these situations more effectively.

Patricia Glyn- The first people of Africa
|
Patricia Glyn, South African eco-adventurer, spent time with Dawid Kruiper the elected traditional leader of the Khomani Bushman clan, investigating whether restitution was achieved when the Bushman clan won a land claim for 25 000 hectares of land within the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (Kgalagadi). Patricia’s fascinating journey not only exposes what the cruel injustices of the past have stolen from the Bushman but also illustrates the lessons that form part of Southern African history.
