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