Welcome
There is widespread agreement that South Africa's success, in common with other dynamic markets - those emerging markets that evidence rapid growth and innovative business models - depends on economic growth. We believe that South Africa has two particular needs for economic growth which cannot be ignored: an availability of both general managers, and entreprenneurs who will help transform South Africa's economic landscape to help create a sustainable, competitive nation. The GIBS full-time MBA programme with dual general management and entrepreneurship tracks is intended to contribute to the growth of both general managers and entrepreneurs.
As the world becomes increasingly complex and fast moving, our ful-time MBA seeks to produce well-rounded managers as well as entrepreneurs who can operate in any developed or dynamic market contexts. The full-time MBA offers students a business-orientated MBA, focused on devleoping general managers within corporates or the creation of owner-managed businesses with particular exposure to the realities of growing or starting new ventures in a complex econommic, social and political landscape.
Our general management track is a generalist degree with some specialistion possible at the stage of electives and the research report. The entrepreneurship track is specialist in the sense of being intended for entrepreneurs but is not specialist in the sense of focusing on a single business discipline or function. The focus on general management in dynamic markets is therefore maintained on both MBA tracks with the core of the programme convering all the major disciplines of management.
If you are a high-calibre graduate with the energy, leadership, ability, potential, maturity, and drive to make a meaningful contribution to the world of business in South Africa, Africa and the world, then the GIBS full-time MBA is the right degree for you.
