Beyond the Safari: Business Lessons from the Maasai Mara
In this video, CEIBS Associate Dean (Africa) and Professor of International Business and Strategy Professor Shameen Prashantham invites us "Beyond the Safari" to explore the unique business lessons he discovered during a recent visit to Kenya.
On a unique working holiday in the Maasai Mara, Prof. Prashantham, along with his son and “research assistant” Aditya, explore the business ecosystem that makes a world-class safari possible.
Watch to learn more about the importance of:
• Purpose: The concept of "Wild Luxury" and creating exclusive value propositions.
• Partnerships: How businesses like Bushtops Safari Camps integrate with local Maasai communities and schools.
• Place: The intersection of geography, history, and geopolitics at the Kenya-Tanzania border.
Whether it’s wildebeests and zebras migrating together or global corporations navigating new markets, the lessons of nature often mirror the world of business.
