The University identified a need to create and provide a meaningful outreach programme for management education and management support services in the region. Simultaneously, the Caribbean business community recognised the need for managers to have the technical, administrative and organisational skills and knowledge that are required to compete successfully in today’s internationally competitive business environment. In addition, an institution that could provide high quality consultancy services indigenous to the region, to support industry, in the age of globalisation, was needed.
