ABOUT CEDAR
The Centre for Entrepreneurship Development and Research (CEDAR) was launched by the School of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS) on 1 December 2022. The vision of CEDAR is to blend theory and practice to create knowledge, improve understanding, and challenge thinking in the area of entrepreneurship. CEDAR is envisaged to assist in creating a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem that is intended to contribute positively to the Northern Cape economy through focusing on the following three main objectives:
- Pedagogy: develop world-leading academic programmes such as the Postgraduate Diploma in Entrepreneurship and the Higher Certificate in Entrepreneurship that produce professionals able to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity as they develop their business acumen in an entrepreneurial learning environment.
- Entrepreneurship development: (i) drive the student entrepreneurship agenda through initiatives such as competitions, mentoring, and start-up laboratories/incubators; (ii) drive the entrepreneurial agenda through collaborations with businesses to deliver consultancy and training while capitalising on CEDAR’s dynamic capability; (iii) drive social impact through the establishment of sustainable businesses by entrepreneurs, student entrepreneurs, and graduate entrepreneurs. The Economic Activation Office will be located in the Centre and will coordinate student entrepreneurial activities such as EDHE Intervarsity, Student Entrepreneurship Week, Student Women Economic Empowerment Project and Enactus.
- Research: contribute significantly to the wider academic research community through publishing, conferences, supervision, and research by staff and students. Entrepreneurship research areas include the psychology of entrepreneurship; SME and microenterprise development; business incubation; environmental entrepreneurship; social entrepreneurship and rural and township development.
