36th Annual Management Day
Wednesday, 15 April, 2015
Keynote Speaker:
His Lordship, Justice Yaw Apau, Sole Commissioner, Judgment Debt Commission
The UGBS’s Management Day was first marked in 1980, with the objective of bridging and fostering a harmonious relationship between industry and academia. The event brings together students, lecturers, corporate executives and managers, public and private sector organisations to share experiences and expectations, deliberate on strategies for harnessing the content and delivery of business education towards ensuring effective and efficient performance at the corporate level.
This year’s Management Day is under the theme “Accountability and Corruption: Building Integrity of Ghanaian Public Institutions” and seeks to provide a platform for public and private sector stakeholders, researchers and policy makers to discuss issues of accountability and corruption in Ghanaian public institutions and to make recommendations for the promotion of accountability and transparency in Ghanaian public institutions.
