The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Pioneering the MBA in South Africa: The University of Pretoria Innovation from GSM TO GIBS 1949 TO 2011.

In Pioneering the MBA in South Africa, the reader is provided with a historical timeline of milestones of the University of Pretoria’s Graduate School of Management. The history of the University’s graduate School of Management is captured within the broader UP context. Most of the chapters reflect the terms, doings, difficulties and innovations of the nine directors, their staff and students. The University’s thinking in establishing a more market-oriented business school from 2000 to be known as the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS), is also included.
