University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business

The research examines how universities can contribute to social innovation and sustainable development.

For now, let's speak to Dr. Annika Sumeya, Senior Lecturer and the Academic Director of the CEM's Master of Management Specializing in International Management Program at UCT Graduate School of Business.

Good morning to you, Doc, and thank you so much for your time.

So I like the fact that this is not just about, you know, the... conversation we often have right to say oh my goodness there's a short staffing issue here there's this here there's a funding issue there's infrastructure but now we're speaking about what is possible for the universities and i wonder what role can they play then as you know change agents as far as social innovation is concerned and sustainable development

The line there to Doc, just, yeah, unfortunately a problem there, but we did get a sense of what she had to say, right? Speaking about just how universities are doing better than actually we give them credit for sometimes and also the global rankings as well as compared to their peers.

But appreciate your time, Doc.
