Dr Catherine Duggan has been appointed as the new Director of the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business.

The new Director of the UCT Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB), Dr Catherine Duggan, believes that business schools can play an important role in rebuilding in the wake of COVID-19 – and that they have a special responsibility to take the lead in crafting healthier and more equitable societies and economies.

Her research focuses on institutional development and financial sector regulation in sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular emphasis on the ways that countries can build institutions to support economic development. She has authored numerous case studies on business in Africa, including many based on original research in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda, Liberia and Guinea-Bissau.

These have spanned topics as varied as environmental sustainability, social enterprise, the changing role of business in society, the benefits of diversity in corporations, and the challenges of doing business in changing political and economic contexts.
