MAKERERE UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL.

Message from the Principal

MUBS Principal
Prof. Waswa Balunywa

The wealth of a nation lies not in its natural resources but in the abilities of its people. People can only give you the best if they have been well educated and developed to ready them for productive work in the country. Once they have this ability, they then have a choice. A choice in life to do what they want to do rather than to simply accept what nature imposes upon them.
Having decided to join one of our programmes, we at the School would like to know yourself better and be able to influence and determine your future. Your future is the vision you have of it. We all like a successful life in the future, but how do we achieve it. We can help you shape the vision of your future. To be a successful person in whatever you will do or be, you must work hard and attempt to excel at it. But this cannot be done unless if you are clear of where you want to go. You must develop a set of goals so as to place your life in perspective. People rarely find the time to do so. By not doing so they muddle through life. A life without goals. This means they live without hope because they don’t see where they are going. It is important therefore to envision your future and set your life goals. These goals may be expressed in various areas including spiritual, mental, physical, family, social, professional/business/financial, personal interests, and recreational. Our programmes are intended to give you knowledge in various management areas, broaden your understanding of business and give you business techniques that will help you through your future. We enable you make a choice in business areas and also the ability to go for it.

We all know people spend disproportionate amounts of time and energy on company business (professional/business/financial). Other people pursue political or public activities on a nearly full-time basis and neglect their family, health and spiritual life. Others spend more of their time above areas at the expense of others. Such lopsided living creates a variety of human problems besides uninteresting life.

In thinking about the goals, I encourage you to dream , to take a wild leap into the future and focus on what you desire and what you want to be. From a big picture, don’t be shy about it. It is all there for you to take and you can make it if you pursue it with intensity and obsession.
