| Summary: | In recent years, Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes and their
curricula have been subjected to substantial scrutiny. However, the majority
of studies have been confined to business schools in Western countries. By
comparison, much less research is available on MBA programmes in developing
countries, particularly those in Africa. In an effort to address this gap, this article
examines MBA programmes in South Africa by first situating them within the
global MBA curriculum debate. It then notes the need to move away from a
generalist MBA programme to a specialized MBA in line with emerging global
trends. Finally, it suggests a multidisciplinary approach to the redesign of the MBA
curriculum. |
