JOHANNESBURG - On a recent trip to South Africa, Professor Ilian Mihov, the Dean of renowned global business school INSEAD, took the time to chat to us at BizNews. In this wide-ranging interview, Mihov explains why business can be and, in many ways, already is a major force for good in the world. He also explains how he thinks South Africa has tremendous potential and why it too can benefit dramatically from just getting on the path of becoming a more business-friendly destination. He also explains the value of an MBA in today's world and why INSEAD wants to see more students from Africa joining its ranks and alumni. It's fascinating to hear an outsider's perspective on the challenges and opportunities that South Africa and Africa face. Take a listen. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
