The School of Management Sciences hosted a very successful colloquium entitled: Current Conversations in Management at the Nelson Mandela University Business School on 2nd Avenue Campus. Staff members who recently completed their PhDs as well as those in the process of obtaining theirs were called upon to present their findings from their research.
