Business Lessons from the Rainbow Nation

Each year, EDHEC MBA participants are invited to attend two international study trips to gain exposure to businesses in different economies and to challenge the participants to new ways of thinking, based on their experiences. Comprising lectures from faculty at a host university and business visits to various enterprises, each trip provides an unforgettable academic and cultural experience for the participants.
For the third consecutive year, EDHEC Business School collaborated with the University of Stellenbosch Business School to expose MBA participants to business in Cape Town, South Africa.  In addition to lectures and company visits, the participants had the opportunity to visit Khayelitsha and Langa Townships and engage with entrepreneurs who were impacting their communities through remarkable income generating activities.
