MAP has grown significantly over the past few years in terms of student numbers, revenue<br />
and popularity. it has established itself as one of the most sought-after programmes on the<br />
WBS campus. For this, we thank the staff who work on it, as well as those members of the community,<br />
corporate world and public service who find value in it.<br />
in 2011, MAP marked its 100th intake since the inaugural MAP 1 started in 1979, thus setting<br />
a solid reputation for itself over the years. There is no corner of the world where you will not<br />
bump into one of our alumni. in addition, there are countless other corporate MAPs run offcampus<br />
either as corporate/in-house or public programmes in the provinces.<br />
The Management Advancement Programme (MAP) is designed to assist managers in developing<br />
a well-rounded approach to managing a department or a business unit. The modules covered<br />
in the programme are human resources, economics, operations management, finance<br />
and accounting, strategy and marketing. The MAP programme has been run by the business<br />
school for over 25 years and has a good reputation among employers. The programme is<br />
aimed at middle managers who want to fast-track their careers. Participants who successfully<br />
complete the programme will receive a certificate of competence.<br />

MAP TESTiMONiALS<br />
The MAP programme gave me a massive amount of personal growth. The programme’s<br />
subjects were very relevant and the lecturers did very well in getting the message across with<br />
practical day-to-day business examples. When applying for the programme, i never imagined<br />
how valuable a life experience it would be. i will never underestimate the value of time again.<br />
Managing family life, work commitments and the MAP tasks was certainly a huge challenge.<br />
The friendships i gained are set in stone and i look forward to bumping into other fellow MAP<br />
100 students in the business environment. i would recommend the MAP programme to any<br />
individual looking to further their knowledge or just for personal growth.<br />
Many thanks to the MAP office for their help and support throughout my time at WBS.<br />
Jamie Wilson<br />
i commenced MAP in March 2010 and my primary objective was to gain a better, broader and<br />
more insightful knowledge and perspective of general business. My decision to choose WBS<br />
was easy: reputation and recognition as a great <strong>Business</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
My learnings from the content of the programme were of incredible value. Equal to the<br />
curriculum was the value i gained from class participation. The questions and resultant<br />
answers as well as healthy debate from both student and lecturer were of immense value.<br />
i also thought i’d never admit that the Syndicate method of learning mimics so much of<br />
the real world business setting. There will always be diversity, even an idleness and lack of<br />
participation in teams. it’s our ability to manage those individuals that determines success.<br />
i’m living my dream, thanks very largely to my MAP qualification.<br />
Tim Borland<br />
What MAP has done for me is to reignite my passion for learning. All those Saturday mornings<br />
have proven to be a catalyst for further learning.<br />
MAP has turbo-boosted my career. Although i have been in HR management for a while, i had<br />
come to a point of touching the ceiling and wondering if there was anything more exciting to<br />
be done. MAP has helped me to approach my role from a strategic angle and that has added<br />
tremendous value to the way i approach problems and challenges. Although i am not a CEO<br />
or a director yet, i am confident that is attainable in the not too distant future. in fact, since<br />
i have been doing MAP many doors have opened for me. i have been invited to executive<br />
briefings and meetings where my input has been sought by decision makers. i am now able<br />
to hold my own when discussing economics, finance and general business matters. Without a<br />
doubt, MAP has made me look good.<br />
You guys are doing a great job. The quality of teaching, administration and prestige associated<br />
with WBS is world class and i am proud to be associated with you.<br />

MAP TESTiMONiALS<br />
CONTiNuED<br />
The benefits i received from studying MAP is the discipline and to work under pressure. The<br />
ability to work with a group and to be able to sacrifice time to meet deadlines in terms of assignments.<br />
At work i am more aware of what is happening around me and i can now relate<br />
business problems in the South African context. i recently attended the Change Management<br />
course and was able to apply the knowledge i learned from Human Resources Principles. With<br />
the knowledge i gained i can change my work environment and motivate other employees<br />
and apply it throughout my career and day to day life.<br />
Ntaoleng Mahlasela<br />
The best element for me has been the added confidence i now feel i’ve gained from completing<br />
the course. The most valuable for me has been the new friendships/networking group<br />
links i have made since completing the course.<br />
Shane Pirie<br />
The greatest benefit i have had is out-of-the-box learning. i now sit in my meetings and approach<br />
them in a different manner. i have learnt valuable managerial, and, to an extent, life skills.<br />
i have also learnt the art of having to work with a group of dynamic people and be able to<br />
get along. MAP has put me on a great path and i have received great acknowledgment of my<br />
studies and performances from my management team.<br />
Hamilton Ndlovu<br />
MAP has been an eye-opener on a multiple front in addition to my academic achievement. it<br />
has changed how i interact with people – at work and outside the workplace. i listen and am<br />
able to read between the lines and apply my mind to not only the words spoken but to the<br />
undertone message and how it is being conveyed. it has given me a different outlook on how<br />
to succeed in business. it has certainly added value in how i conduct myself and execute my<br />
responsibilities as a leader in the work place. i was lucky enough to change jobs during my<br />
MAP programme and even at that early stage, i could already apply what i was learning in the<br />
MAP class. i would recommend MAP to every leader or aspiring leader out there, it is a great<br />
investment and you can only change for the better.<br />

COURSE OBJECTIVE<br />
The Management Advancement Programme (MAP) is a part-time course designed to assist<br />
managers whose experience and primary activities have been in a specialised functional area.<br />
The objective is to give managers broad exposure to the fundamental nature of the management<br />
process and human behaviour within organisations.<br />
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES<br />
• To broaden the perspective of participants whose previous experience has mainly been in<br />
a specialist area.<br />
• To provide directors, executives and managers with knowledge, skills and techniques that<br />
will lead to more professional management.<br />
• To develop the ability to make sound and informed decisions.<br />
• To increase effectiveness in working with people of different cultures and values.<br />
• To increase awareness of the economic, political and social factors which affect business<br />
management in South Africa and globally.<br />
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?<br />
Directors, executives and managers currently employed in managing a functional (specialised<br />
function) area, such as marketing, finance or human resources management, in commerce, industry<br />
or service organisations, working to prepare for transition to a more generalised managerial<br />
function where they are expected to look at business holistically.<br />
Typically, applicants will have at least five years’ work experience, preferably in a management<br />
-related function, or recently promoted to management, or tipped for promotion and be at<br />
least 25 years of age. Applicants should also have post-matric qualifications, in addition to<br />
the required managerial experience. Those selected should demonstrate commitment to selfdevelopment<br />
and a desire for improving their organisation’s performance.<br />
The profile of MAP students ranges from directors, executives to middle managers and CEOs.<br />
The programme is also open to those within industry, struggling to make a transition into the<br />
world of business from specialised areas or functions such as entrepreneurs, as well as those<br />
in the medical profession, including medical doctors.<br />
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE<br />
PROGRAMME<br />
The programme has a modular structure of six courses of study, two non-examinable, but<br />
compulsory modules, Group Dynamics and <strong>Business</strong> Simulation. The course commences with<br />
a compulsory two-day full-time Group Dynamics Programme. Thereafter, students begin the<br />
programme itself, completing two courses at a time – in sequence. Part-time students will<br />
attend lectures on Saturday mornings or twice a week after work. Students on the full-time<br />
option will attend the four study blocks.<br />
