Wits Business School

Running a business school means juggling two conflicting pressures: keeping teaching current while managing the real constraints of South African higher education. Wits Business School operates in an environment where load shedding disrupts online classes, where student diversity demands curriculum flexibility, and where employers keep changing what skills they actually need. Lecturers balance theory with case studies drawn from JSE-listed companies and township entrepreneurship alike. The school manages partnerships with international institutions, accreditation bodies expecting certain standards, and students who are often working while studying. It's a constant negotiation between what education should be and what infrastructure, regulation, and economic reality allow.
