MSM Dean Director Wim Naudé |

MSM is not a ‘big’ school in terms of staff and faculty, yet it has a disproportionate global impact. It does so through team work, networking and being innovative. You will read about this in this newsletter. Let me state however that the staff and faculty at MSM work tremendously hard, often under high levels of stress. They do things right. But they also do the right things and that is why they cope and indeed thrive on the pressure that comes from being part of an innovative global business school. The spark that ignites everyone’s passion is our students, each contributing to the greater good with their worlds, wisdoms and wit that they bring with them. When we receive international recognition, as we did this month from AMBA, Eduniversal and the GBSN, it is ultimately a salute to all our students and alumni. |
