DISCOVERY EXPEDITIONAll 90 participants return to South Africa to address local challenges. |
The Discovery Expedition is much more than a business visit: develop your leadership skills, apply what you have learned in class to a real situation, address local business issues and make a difference.
You will work directly with small and medium-sized enterprises to:
- improve current business processes
- provide know-how to the management team
- examine financing
- transfer best practices in marketing, HR, operations, etc
Preparation starts in the international political economy course by learning about South Africa and the challenges and opportunities in emerging markets. You will also work with the companies prior to your departure and continue to work with them after your return, to support the implementation of your suggestions.

"The Discovery Expedition has been that catalyst for me in that it has accelerated and enhanced my learning about a country which I thought I already knew well. Over the week we have spent in South Africa, I have seen places and spoken to people it would have otherwise taken me a life time to see and meet. I have heard opinions from which societal status would have probably shielded me forever."
