The Entrepreneurship Development Academy is the heart of entrepreneurial development and thinking at Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS). The Academy specialises in understanding entrepreneurship in constraint, enabling business owners to understand the environment within which they work, and thrive within it. This morning we find out more about the work the academy does, but also learn more about the grant funding from a US-based global company to assist South African township entrepreneurs across the country in retail-oriented pursuits.

GUEST: Sean Smith is Gordon Institute of Business Science senior manager: monitoring, evaluation
