Mr. Rahman conducted his presentation on the Social Business Model of Grameen Group” at Stephen A Jarislowsky Chair of Management and it was an absolute success! He subsequently, focused DIU & had to

speak two and half hours instead of scheduled 50 minuites because of the interest of academicians and researchers as well as students of Laval University which was beyond the imagination of the presenter. He also met the press to talk about this issue.
