Will future business success be derived more from the University of Life, or from academic training?

Held in the Ballroom.

New Zealand’s future wealth and security will be driven by the young business people now entering positions of influence. What are the key drivers of business success? Are they taught in an academic setting or are they learned from life?

- Does academic training provide the necessary skills/platform for business success?
- If not, where can business people learn the necessary skills?
- With globalisation, is more academic training essential to increase business productivity?
- How do we work smarter, not harder?
- Is the only way to learn about business success (and failure) “on the job”?
- Is there a gap between what is taught and what is necessary to succeed in business?
- Do graduates receive a good return on their investment in education?

The Affirmative Team (arguing for the University of Life):
- Sir Peter Maire;
- Trevor Johnstone.

The Negative Team (arguing for academic training):
- Dr. Sean Simpson;
- Derek McCormack.
