An analysis of research titles showed that College researchers’ intellectual pursuits have shifted since 2017, from general business dynamics to South African and continental business challenges, notably in the field of market intelligence. ANNUAL HONOURS POSTER COMPETITION The Annual Honours Poster Competition is an example of developing student interest in postgraduate studies. This competition also serves to benchmark research methodology across disciplines in the College. The first prize entails cash (R10 000) and sponsored attendance at an international conference. INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS STUDIES (ITLS (AFRICA)) ITLS (Africa), located within the Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management, responds to industry needs for independent, unbiased, relevant and up-to-date research. Its international partner institution is the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at the University of Sydney. In 2018, the contribution of ITLS (Africa) ranged from surveys on trends in transport, logistics and supply chain management to once-off specialist research projects, such as the skills gaps in Kenya, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Of significance is a new agreement with the World Bank, the World Resources Institute, the World Council on Transportation and Research Society and five African universities, which will further joint research, exchange and training programmes.
