Long-serving academic Anet Smit has been named interim director while a successor is sought
North-West University Business School is preparing to start the search for a new chief director, following the resignation of Jan van Romburgh. The Potchefstroom-based school — the first to break the international accreditation stranglehold of SA’s traditional “Ivy League” university schools — hopes to have someone in place for the start of the 2023 academic year.
Accreditation is one of the pillars of NWU’s Project Proton, which sets out the school’s vision until 2026. Another is to expand its influence in small business development. The school’s small business advisory bureau is already active in both the formal and informal business sectors. The school also wants to expand its influence across Africa.But it’s in the ethical field that NWU is making most waves.
Economist Raymond Parsons, an NWU professor and chair of its advisory board, says many of the effects of corruption relate directly to the business community. “In among everything else that is happening, these are not always highlighted,” he says. “We look at what it means for corporate governance.”
