The competitiveness of businesses is vital to the growth and sustainability of any economy. Businesses do not grow by chance. They grow by a sustained act of well-organized players. These players can be in different units of the department and are at different levels (from researchers to technicians). This course, therefore, seeks to train high quality lower level cadres in the business environments so as to create a critical mass for sustainability and development of Uganda businesses.
