“Many of the courses in the PGDBA programme have been relevant to managing business in Auckland. For example, I have enjoyed the Services Marketing course as it serves to provide insight on how best to market Paradise Restaurant in Auckland. I’m also

particularly interested in the Managing Information and Technology course as I agree with the premise

emphasising the importance of utilising social media and Information technology when

running a competitive business.”
