The discipline of Management and Entrepreneurship offers dynamic and innovative modules and programmes that are carefully designed and focused on developing the students’ skills, knowledge, and abilities to optimally function as managers and entrepreneurs in a range of real organisational activities. The aim of the discipline is to develop leaders of the future, by offering modules and programmes that are guaranteed to add value to the students’ academic growth. All our modules and programmes offer rigorous academic standards comparable with similar programmes at other universities. Our undergraduate modules equip students with the fundamental tools on how to make sense of the world around them, understand the behaviour of managers, consumers and entrepreneurs, and equip them with the language of management, organisations, and entrepreneurship. Postgraduate programmes are designed for specialisation and strengthening the professional business, entrepreneurial and research capacity of our students.
Academics in the discipline have had ground-breaking research within the space of Management and Entrepreneurship. This research has had significant impact on the way businesses, both small and large, operate. Also, this research has contributed immensely to the body of knowledge within the Management and Entrepreneurship spaces.
The discipline is working closely with the KZN Department of Economic Development with regard to empowering Small and Medium Enterprises with management skills and sustainable business practices
