Overview
All decisions relating to business (from responding to customer's evolving needs and preferences to conducting culture or employee engagement surveys), to scientific findings (i.e. diagnosis, treatment, new inventions), and government (i.e. regulations and policies) are best made based on ethical and sound research methodology. Research plays a significant role in identifying problems, obtaining the right data, outlining objectives and drawing sound conclusions. If you would like to master the ability to turn data into valuable information, interpret it accurately and make the correct inferences, and you would like to learn how to conduct, analyse and present research, then this course is for you. Individuals who are looking to conduct research for reporting purposes (integrated, annual, sustainability or showcase reports), tertiary students with aspirations of doing a post-graduate qualification or senior level staff who would like to embark on their Master's Degree, would be well suited to this course.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
