VOICES OF IMPACT
TRANSFORMING OUR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL INSIGHTS INTO ACCESSIBLE OPINION PIECES, ANALYSES AND INTERVIEWS.
Expert Voices transforms the School’s academic and professional insight into accessible public scholarship. Through this stream, academics and leaders contribute opinion pieces, analyses, and interviews to respected media outlets such as Business Day, Mail & Guardian, News24, and The Conversation Africa.
These contributions make NWU Business School a visible and credible participant in national and continental debates on leadership, ethics, and transformation. Each article or feature is republished on the Voices for Impact site under “NWU Business School in the Media,” forming a growing record of how the School’s expertise enriches public understanding.
In this way, Expert Voices ensures that our academic thought speaks directly to society and that the School’s insights help shape public reasoning.
