GBSN sponsored the "Second Workshop on Teaching the Practice of Management for Deans of African Business Schools" at the Lagos Business School (LBS) in Nigeria. Attended by over 20 business school deans from around Africa, the meeting provided a platform for deans of African business schools to share ideas about improving the quality of teaching in their schools through participant-centered and practice-based teaching methods.
