Business
leaders, he says, need to understand the global direction of business and
challenges therein to stay competitive.
To
meet the capacity needs of top management in organizations, MBA and Executive
MBA programmes are being marketed by Business Schools of tertiary educational
institutions.
Prof. Tsamenyi
says such programmes remain relevant so long as managers are empowered to think
and act as entrepreneurs.
“At
CEIBS our emphasis is to come up with programmes that are actually relevant to
the socio-economic development of Ghana. We strongly believe that for Ghana and
Africa to develop, entrepreneurship is very key,” he noted.
Ghana
hosts the CEIBS Africa campus which has the mission to prepare highly
competent, innovation-oriented managers and executives who are capable of
leading and growing their organisations in the increasingly dynamic African
economic environment.
Prof.
Tsamenyi says products of the programme are excelling in their fields of
endeavor and recording impressive impact on the economy.
“It’s
always a debatable issue when it comes to measuring impact but clearly from our
experience and evidence we’ve collected, the answer clearly is yes because so
far we’ve actually produced over 120 graduates and they are all in very high
positions in their organizations and their actions and decisions have had
positive impact on the bottom line,” he stated.
The
CEIBS is also emphasizing on developing the entrepreneurial skills of women and
informal sector businesses.
Launched
in 2008, the CEIBS Africa Programme offers an Executive EMBA programme, a Women
Entrepreneurship and Leadership for Africa Programme, Executive Education
Programmes, and a number of seminars and strategic conversations.
