Visiting Harvard Business School scholars have been urged to rewrite the African narrative not just as the next frontier but as a necessary partner for global economic sustainability.
Equity Group Holdings Managing Director and CEO, Dr James Mwangi, implored the visiting students to be advocates for Africa in their respective countries, to rewrite the narrative insisting that with 27 percent of the world's population by 2050 and most of its natural resources, the world cannot grow without Africa.
He was speaking to Master of Business Administration (MBA) scholars from Harvard Business School who visited Equity Head Office in Nairobi for engagement on 'Linking Global Academia with Enterprise'.
The students, led by Professor Hakeem Belo-Osagie, a member of the Harvard University Global Advisory Board, were on a study tour in Kenya exploring African-led development models and private sector impact.
