Welcome to Transformation in Commerce
Welcome to the Transformation in Commerce website. The Commerce Faculty of
the University of Cape Town views the process of Transformation thus:
Transformation is a prism through which we should see all our activities at UCT. There is a continuum in everything we can look at, from complete inequity to full equity.
Transformation is about the processes that move us along that continuum in the direction of equity, with respect to issues of: respect, redress, opportunity and self-esteem. These processes operate at three levels: the individual, the interpersonal (faculties and departments), and the institution.
The common understanding of transformation here is that it is not at the expense of anyone - it is an
inclusive process, not exclusionary.

Curriculum issue
-------------------------------------------------------
Is it wise, in the wake of the American financial crisis and its far extending ripples, for Commerce students to be taught and encouraged to embrace American and European commercial curriculums (curriculi) with the belief that they can better address African contexts?
The global financial crisis affects everyone - including those in Africa. So, understanding the way things worked (and did not work) in the financial systems of the advanced capitalist economies is important for our students. The key thing, of course, is to be honest and clear about what did NOT work. We also need to be more focussed on what to do to protect African countries from contagion and from making similar mistakes. Therefore the curriculum probably needs to be expanded beyond (but not replace fully) the conventional curriculums...
