Father Ollie
Wiliams, C.S.C. is quoted in an article in the Cape
Town Book Fair "The
Literary MBA in SA - Too Good to be True" Williams
feels strongly that any MBA programme must offer students
an understanding of ethical frameworks. “Just
as they have to have a conceptual framework to adequately
comprehend accountancy, finance and marketing, so they
need something that creates and reinforces an overarching
world view.”
