Zambia's economy is quite reliant on copper
mining, and is therefore exposed to commodity price changes. In recent years,
it grew at a fairly rapid pace. Zambia has one of the youngest populations in
the world, with 46 percent under the age of 15, putting tremendous pressure on
education and job creation.
Food for Thought
With very few exceptions,
MBA programs in sub-Saharan Africa are unable to effectively compete with institutions
in the West. As a result, MBA programs cannot attract the best local students or faculty
and often lack the leadership prowess necessary to effectively position themselves within
the market.
