Entrepreneurship education is
one of several key factors, along with access to finance, government policies,
infrastructure, and others, that influence attitudes about entrepreneurship and

entrepreneurship education and training was inadequate, especially in primary
and secondary schools.
This month, the Spanish business magazine ACTUALIDAD
ECONOMICA published a supplement listing the prizes they are
awarding to "The 100 BEST IDEAS - the most brilliant products and
services launched in the last few months."
As you can see from the enclosed copy, The Africa Initiative at IESE is one of them:
"This
Initiative at IESE is to create a link or association between Spanish
and African business schools. Its objective is to make a contribution
towards the education of African business faculty. To that effect, they
are already cooperating with Lagos Busines School (Nigeria), Nile
University (Egypt) and Strathmore Business school (Nairobi)".
IESE is also working with the newly
created Angola School of Business and IHE in
Ivory Coast.
This is not so much a prize for "The Africa
Initiative", but
to all of us as a vey wide team, in all the different departments of the
various academic institutions, who are generously contributing to all
this underlying effort towards the creation and development of high
quality busines schools in the African continent.
