Understanding Management & Politics Ghana Study Trip

BA3500 Business Information Systems
BA5049 Brand Management
PO2031 World Politics

Ghana is in the process of a successful transition to democracy. Visit political institutions
(government, political parties, civil society groups) as well as engage in an introduction to
the history of Ghana, especially in the contemporary period of colonization and national
independence. Visit the famous European fortresses and the former slave entrepôt as
well as a typical country village and a craft market. Many agree that Africa is rich in
both natural and human resources. The challenge it faces is putting in place effective
development strategies to capitalize on these resources and manage them effectively.
Investigate these strategies with visits to financial institutions and business organizations.
Meet with both private and government-run institutions and allow yourself to see and
understand how an organization structure can influence anything from the equipment
and software that the company invest in, to how they chose to brand their products.
Participants in the trip must be up to date with yellow fever and hepatitis vaccinations.
Anti-malaria pills must be taken during the trip.
