BNZ Business Seminar Series
The BNZ Seminar Series is an opportunity for Otago's School of Business to work closely with the BNZ, bringing the research of the School and the global business academic world to New Zealand business people.
Seminars are presented in a range for formats, from small gatherings to public lectures. The School and its students benefit by having the opportunity to bring leading experts from around the world to campus, and to develop relationships with those individuals and their home institutions.
