1. Business Leaders Roundtable for CEOs of Leading Companies in Kenya
|
|
The
Business Leaders Roundtable
for CEOs was held on January 7, 2005 at the Serena
Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. USIU School of Business with the support of the
Global Business School Network (GBSN), an initiative of the International
Finance Corporation (IFC) organized the workshop. The main topic for
discussion was “Managing Change and Growth in Turbulent Times: Lessons
from Experience”. A total of twenty CEOs drawn from a cross-section of
leading manufacturing and service companies, attended the workshop |

Outcome of the
Business Leaders Roundtable for CEOs
|
|
Most of the CEOs who attended
the roundtable were willing to have teaching cases written based on their
companies. This directly augments USIU’s efforts aimed at improving the
quality of professional business education offered at USIU and in Kenya.
This goal will be achieved through teaching using case studies that
address actual problems faced by business managers in Kenya.
In addition, USIU’s desire is to create a
forum for learning and discussion for business leaders in Kenya. Our hope
is that in addition to the learning opportunities, the roundtable series
will become a networking forum for local business leaders. Further, we
want to build a strong relationship between our business school and the
local business community.
