Have you ever had a sudden business idea that changes the way you envision your future? It’s not unheard of for business students, immersed as they are in creative and practical possibilities.

Ducere Global Business School is extremely proud to announce its newest MBA Industry Partner for 2019 – National Association of Women in Operations (NAWO).

Using innovative thinking to solve social problems

study@ducere.edu.au (Ducere Global Business School) — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 01:12:00 GMT

Planet earth is slowly dying, millions of people are being forced to flee their homes, the human race is the loneliest (and the fattest) it has ever been in recorded history and citizens in nation states are becoming increasingly divided and pitted against one another.

Given the horrors of our current reality, it wouldn’t be surprising if all most of us wanted to do was to huddle up in ‘child’s pose’ and rock back and forth on our highly mortgaged lounge room floors.
