Full textThis dissertation proposes a conceptual and methodological framework for the creation and implementation of a Composite Sustainable Development Indicator for a retail corporate entity. It provides a review and evaluation of existing approaches to sustainability development, and in particular Corporate Sustainability. The study selects and combines aspects of existing conceptual frameworks into a new conceptual framework for a Composite Sustainable Development Indicator for the retail context. It then applies this framework and general principles and criteria of sustainability assessment, in the selection and adaptation of an existing CSDI framework, namely the Barometer of Sustainability. An illustrative example of the application of the proposed methodological framework is also provided. The study was initiated based on the need for more research into the complexity of Composite Sustainability Indicators. The study also attempts to address the lack of effective methodologies for assessing, measuring and managing sustainability within a corporate environment. It thus proposes a more rigorous approach to sustainability that may enhance the current culture of reporting.

Full textThe purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand the process of learning and organization development and change (ODC) in a community-based enterprise in Myanmar as impacted by a certificate program in organizational development. Decades of military rule, civil war, and limited access to high-quality health and education services led to the creation of over 200,000 community-based organizations and enterprises in Myanmar. One initiative to support development and change in these organizations was the Payap University-International Rescue Committee Certificate Program in Organizational Development that was offered to members of over 100 organizations in Southeast Myanmar and along the Thai-Myanmar border from 2014-2017.
One exemplary organization that had four members participate in the certificate program was selected for this study, and data were collected over a four-week period through interviews, observations, documents, and a focus group. The primary research question framing this study addressed how the process of learning and ODC occurred in this organization as impacted by the certificate program.
The following three categories emerged from the data analysis: learning from the certificate program, the process of learning and change, and evidence for change. These findings led to an understanding of the essence of the process of learning and change, first through the diffusion of learning in the organization as a driver of development and change, and then through an open-systems change model including its inputs, changes processes, and outputs. In addition to the certificate program as an input to development and change processes, this study showed the importance of political and economic changes, culture, and organization characteristics as antecedents to change. This research highlighted the centrality of social learning through role modeling in the diffusion of learning and demonstrated the importance of buy-in from the organization’s members as well as their perceived alignment of the change efforts with the needs or the organization.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African population involves huge numbers of young people. The majority of these young people are unemployed and unable to make a living as a result of the inability of the economy to absorb them into the labour market. Other young people attempt to make a living through entrepreneurship. However, the participation of young people in entrepreneurship is very low. Young people face many challenges associated with lack of funding and business development support services, technical skills and development. The problems facing the country substantially caused socio-economic challenges resulting in a shrinking economy. This translated into an inability of both the private sector and government to create and sustain jobs. The government of South Africa established the National Youth Development Agency (here called the Agency) with the mandate to reduce poverty by making sound investments. This facilitates opportunities for young people to acquire skills, promote creation of jobs or pursue meaningful self-employment opportunities through various enterprise development initiatives. The agency developed the Enterprise Development Finance Programme as an economic development approach. The agency provides access to financial and non-financial services to the previously disadvantaged youth in a sustainable manner that improves and promotes sustainable livelihoods for the low-income groups. The study evaluates the effectiveness of the EDFP. The public and private sector offers different programmes aiming at equipping aspiring and established entrepreneurs with skills, knowledge, and motivation to enable business development and growth in the country. However, the challenge is that many do not have entrepreneurial minds. Those who have entrepreneurship knowledge do not know about the programmes, or the programmes are not easily accessible particularly to people in the rural areas. In addition, these programmes are not co-ordinated and as result we are not in a position to tell immediately as to who is doing what and where. This also makes it difficult to identify gaps and to maximise the impact of the programmes. There is a need to audit all programmes aimed at improving the economic development of the country. The government of South Africa must instil a culture of entrepreneurship at all levels to promote and nurture entrepreneurship skills. Vigorous entrepreneurial activity and innovation is needed to alleviate high unemployment levels through a combination of improved quality education and skills development. Promotion and support of entrepreneurship should form an important component of policy options considered to increase economic growth for the long term. The Economic Development Finance programme provides SME and microfinance funding which is seen as an important strategy for economic growth. Education and skills development is an important tool that supports the culture of entrepreneurship, as it contributes to the success of businesses. The private and public institutions should intensify their involvements and consider both financial and non-financial support for youth enterprises and entrepreneurs equally. The support for entrepreneurship should be holistic and cover funding, technical training, training in business and financial management, and business linkages.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an illustrious initiative that most companies take advantage of in order to position themselves for competitive advantage in the business world. Other companies view it as an opportunity to contribute towards the development of the society who they find themselves doing business with. Globally, CSR is viewed in different context and South Africa has its own unique way of approach. South Africa's historical problems are still prevalent. These include poverty, unemployment, housing and services backlog and economic inequality. The government is facing a challenge of alleviating most of these by channelling resources to social development. However, the magnitude of these challenges cannot be confronted by the government alone, somehow private sector must assist. Undoubtedly several companies within the private sector benefited from the legacy of the past. Thus, in a South African context, philanthropic gesture from the sector is not an option, but a responsibility. Government is obviously aware of social mandate and its promise, and of the economy's persistent sluggishness to employment creation. Of course, the economy is growing at acceptable rate, but its growth is not in synch with job creation. Through research and learning from developed countries, the government has set its sights on nurturing small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) as the preferred method of fighting joblessness. Broadly, this strategy has shown positive results globally and multinationals have collaborated with governments to promote enterprise development. The idea gives a broader hindsight that entrepreneurial culture is the way to go to build a foundation of a robust sustainable enterprise development. A number of companies that value CSR have heeded to this call - corporate social investment to sustainable enterprise development - and one of them is South African Breweries Limited. SAB has various enterprise development programmes that contribute significantly towards socio-economic development. This report highlights the significance and relevance of the two entrepreneurial programmes from SAB, known as the KickStart and Mahlasedi. A main focus will be on the two programmes and how they are implemented, their rationale and how much has been invested so far to ensure their sustainability and success. The KickStart and Mahlasedi programmes have been in operation since 1995 and 2002 respectively. SAB Limited has invested more than R36 million for the KickStart and has helped make 3 200 people to become entrepreneurs. Mahlasedi taverner training programme has assisted licensed taverners to run businesses efficiently with reports of owners saving up to 30.53% in monthly liquor sales and being able to grow their investments to 40.54%. An in-depth research into the programmes reveals that the two programmes have made significant strides towards sustainable development, despite challenges of a few candidates receiving funds in the KickStart programme and provincial licensing hiccups on the part of Mahlasedi. This could be an example to other companies that are keen and have not yet gone the route, to transform on CSI strategies. A key success factor in the implementation phase of these programmes was mentoring of beneficiaries. Huge capital investment can be made into socially responsible initiatives, but without mentoring, sustainable development of benefiting enterprises may not materialise.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Korporatiewe sosiale verantwoordelikheid (KSV) is 'n inisiatief van die korporatiewe sektor wat al hoe meer uitkring vanwee ondernemings se oogmerk om hulle mededingendheid te verbreed. Ander beskou dit as 'n geleentheid om dienste aan die wyer gemeenskap te gee. Wereldwyd word KSV uiteenlopend vertolk en het ook Suid-Afrika sy besondere benadering. Suid-Afrika se onderliggende probleme, soos armoede, werkloosheid, behuisingsagterstande en ongelykheid, duur nog steeds voort en gee vir die regering groot uitdagings wat betref hulpbronkanalisering vir sosiale ontwikkeling. Dit is derhalwe nodig dat die privaatsektor ook tot die oplossings bydra. Waar baie ondernemings in die verlede van die bedeling voordele behaal het, is filantropiese aksies nou 'n vanselfsprekende verantwoordelikheid. Ten einde die gebrek aan werksgeleenthede aan te spreek, le die regering heelwat klem op die kleinsakesektor en sy vermoe om skeppend te wees. Dit het wereldwyd sukses en die korporatiewe sektor is bereid om die staat se pogings te ondersteun. Hierdie siening lei tot 'n beklemtoning van ondernemerskap en hoe dit aangehelp kan word. Verskeie korporasies het hierdie rigting ingeslaan, met Suid-Afrikaanse Brouery as een van hulle. SAB se KSV-projekte sluit verskeie van die projekte in. Hierdie studie fokus veral op twee sodanige programme, nl. KickStart en Mahlasedi, met die klem op hul oorsprong en ontplooing. KickStart is reeds sedert 1995 in werking, met 'n SAB belegging van R36 miljoen en die aktivenng van 3200 ondernemings. Die Mahlasedi program vir die opleiding van taverne-eienaars is vanaf 2002 in werking en het ook daar beduidende suksesse behaal. Lesse geleer uit hierdie twee programme mag ook relevant wees vir ander projekte, met besondere klem op die mentorskap-dimensie.

Full textForeign economic activity is one of the most important factors in the development of the national economy. No country in the world will be able to independently develop its own production processes, ensure economic growth without effectively using the benefits of the international division of labor and the combined international scientific and technological potential. This is especially relevant in modern conditions when the processes of international economic integration, the international division of labor, globalization of the world economy are developing intensively. Foreign economic activity promotes the development of promising areas of export potential. It is due to foreign economic activity that our country solves the problem of lack of energy, new machines, and equipment, technologies, some consumer goods.
Зовнішньоекономічна діяльність є одним з найважливіших факторів розвитку національної економіки. Жодна країна у світі не зможе самостійно розвивати власні виробничі процеси, забезпечувати економічне зростання без ефективного використання переваг міжнародного поділу праці та об'єднаного Міжнародного науково-технічного потенціалу. Це особливо актуально в сучасних умовах, коли інтенсивно розвиваються процеси міжнародної економічної інтеграції, міжнародного поділу праці, глобалізації світової економіки. Зовнішньоекономічна діяльність сприяє розвитку перспективних напрямків експортного потенціалу. Саме за рахунок зовнішньоекономічної діяльності наша країна вирішує проблему нестачі енергії, нових машин і обладнання, технологій, деяких споживчих товарів.
Akrong, Samuel Senalor. "The effectiveness of the Khula Enterprise Finance Ltd's credit guarantee scheme." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/95691.
Full textSmall, medium and micro enterprises (SMEs) provide critical productivity and growth enhancing functions thereby contributing to a country’s gross domestic product and offering employment. Some of these small businesses however, face various challenges including restricted access to funding from private financial institutions including commercial banks. Banks are not readily disposed to extending credit to small businesses since they are perceived to be high risk, they lack collateral and the administrative costs associated with lending to them are high. Credit guarantee schemes such as the Khula Credit Guarantee Scheme (KCGS) are aimed at encouraging the flow of funds to small businesses through the sharing of risk between the lender, borrower and guarantor. Credit guarantee schemes have to be designed and implemented according to some international best practices but within a local context. This research report therefore, attempts to determine the effectiveness of the KCGS in terms of whether: • the KCGS is in line with best international principles and practices; • the scheme is meeting its objectives of lending to the targeted group; • the KCGS has generated the desired interest in lenders, and • the default rate amongst borrowers is within acceptable limits. The study finds that the KCGS has some features that are based on best international principles. But the scheme has not necessarily succeeded in lending to the targeted market, and default rates are very high. The study makes various recommendations, including the need for a comprehensive database of beneficiaries of the KCGS loan, providing non-financial support to beneficiaries, and the need to review the processing of claims.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the 19th century, farming in South Africa included vibrant small scale farms that were market responsive and competitive. Legislation enacted in the early 20th century adversely affected these farmers while supporting the development of large commercial farmers. The extensive government support for the White farmers was seen as a mode of increasing national output as well as creating food self-sufficiency, but at the same time, this decreased food security for the Black population. Major changes in the South African government in 1994 attempted to address these inequalities, amongst other, by supporting small-scale farmers. However, the gap between White and Black producers has been closing very slowly. Small-scale farming faced a wide range of enterprise development challenges. As a response to these challenges, the Government enacted the New Co-operative Act No.14 of 2005 to promote sustainable small business development by introducing the provision of incentives for agricultural co-operatives. This study has sought to determine the challenges and opportunities that are encountered in sustaining enterprise development and has used the Matabane Secondary Agricultural Co-operative (MSAC) as a case study. The goal is to develop strategies which can minimise the challenges and exploit the opportunities that will enable MSAC to realise its ultimate goal of improving livelihoods and reducing poverty. A review of current literature provided the secondary data for the study. The literature indicated the importance of social and physical capital in the sustainability of enterprise development. Social capital, in the context of sustainability of livelihoods, is defined as networks with shared norms, values and understandings that facilitate co-operation within the group. It can also be seen as the ability of the co-operative or group to secure benefits through membership in networks and other social structures (Finkelstein et al., 2007, Porters, 2000). Physical capital refers to any non-human asset made by humans and then used in the production process (Finkelstein et al, 2007, Porters, 2000). Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires delivered to 37 members of the MSAC. Thirty one members responded and were interviewed personally by the researcher. The questions were designed to investigate the challenges and opportunities faced by members and how they relate to social and physical capital. The results were analysed quantitatively using both descriptive and chi-squared statistical analysis. The results reflect the challenges and opportunities for enterprise development as perceived by co-operative members. The analysis explored this in terms of social and physical capital. The predominant challenges described were lack of access to finance and lack of mechanisation. The greatest opportunities seen were related to the bonds, bridges and linkages formed by co-operative members. Based on the assessment of the study, several recommendations were made. The introduction of a Co-operative Development Fund (CDF) would support and strengthen the co-operative financially, addressing both the issues of lack of access to finance and lack of mechanisation. On-site training programmes would enhance the members’ ability to participate in the decision making process of the co-operative and better manage their operations. The study has further shown that a lack of, or limited intra-governmental co-ordination proved to be one of the major challenging factors. It would be advantageous to organise an intergovernmental information service whose purpose would be to co-ordinate activities and pool resources of different agencies in their efforts to achieve common goals.

Strong research and development planning is critical to ensuring the necessary technologies have been matured for future acquisition programs. For the DoD Space Enterprise, research and development occur across a myriad of government laboratories, Federally Funded Research & Development Centers, other government agencies, academia, and industry. This work is governed through many different processes, but improvements could be made to the communication, collaboration, cooperation, and coordination through a well aligned governance structure. The use of Model-Based Systems Engineering, Technology Roadmapping, and Design Structure Matrices can transition the DoD to an approach that documents the capability needs, priorities, timelines, and system interdependencies in a way that facilitates knowledge sharing and cooperative, coordinated system planning. This process would begin by developing a solution-neutral functional architecture and decomposing the technology needs against the planned future acquisition timelines in a technology roadmap that integrates all space mission areas. A streamlined process with distinct functions, each chaired by a single enterprise authority, executed by a space community chief architect, and with participation by the relevant stakeholders, can lead to a portfolio management process that aligns technology development with enterprise priorities. The integrated roadmap can be used to communicate transparently with all R&D entities so that investment decisions can be aligned with the future acquisition needs. This approach will take best advantage of the incredible research that is occurring throughout the country for space systems, and ensure that the right technology is being shepherded for on-orbit demonstration at the right time.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: "Poverty is unnecessary. People are capable of getting themselves out of poverty. All they need is opportunities. They are not waiting for charity or handouts. Charity is good but it is not good enough. If you turn it into a business proposition, then it's very powerful, because it can run on its own steam" (Muhammed Yunus, Nobel Prize of Economics, 2006). It is widely acknowledged in current literature that business is one of the most powerful forces for change in the 21 st century. One of the major challenges is to harness this potential and to allocate it accurately to where it is most effective. Leaders globally are increasingly acknowledging that new business models are emerging that can effectively combine citizenship and profitability without unduly sacrificing returns to shareholders, but rather enhancing them. The term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been abandoned by most South African firms in favour of the term Corporate Social Investment. This has been done in order to divert attention from calls on business to redress the results of the country's historical contribution to the apartheid system. Businesses have responded strongly to the pressures of CSR. CSR in South Africa has become an inherent aspect of any organisation's overall business strategy. For South Africa to achieve their goals of reducing poverty, accelerating economic growth, and providing better services to their citizens there has to be a strong focus on encouraging large corporate involvement. This thesis discusses the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes implemented by selected large companies operating in South Africa and the attempts they have made to close the poverty gap at the bottom of the pyramid. The second part of this thesis provides a closer and detailed discussion of South African Breweries enterprise development programmes, viz: Ukusa and Mahlasedi. The outcome of this thesis provides further evidence that poverty alleviation strategies can be effective and sustainable if they incorporate private sector approaches that promote entrepreneurial development within the target population in South Africa. It also emphasises that CSR programmes not only provide opportunity for the population at the bottom of the pyramid but directly influences the growth and sustainability of many businesses in South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit word oral in huidige literatuur erken dat besigheid een van die sterkste kragte vir verandering in die 21 ste eeu is. Een van die grootste uitdagings is om hierdie potensiaal te benut en om dit akkuraat toe te wys na waar dit die doeltreffendste aangewend kan word. Leiers wêreldwyd erken toenemend dat nuwe besigheidsmodelle verskyn wat burgerskap en winsgewendheid doeltreffend kan kombineer sonder oormatige opoffering van winste aan aandeelhouers maar trouens eerder deur die verhoging daarvan. Die term Korporatiewe Maatskaplike Verantwoordelikheid (KMV) was deur die meeste Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye ten gunste van die term Korporatiewe Maatskaplike belegging verruil. Dit is gedoen om aandag weg te lei van beroepe op ondememings om die gevolge van die land se historiese bydrae tot die apartheidstelsel reg te stel. Besighede het heftig gereageer op die druk van KMV. KMV in Suid-Afrika het 'n inherente aspek van enige organisasie se oorkoepelende besigheidstrategie geword. Vir Suid-Afrika om hierdie doelwitte van armoedevermindering, versnelde ekonomiese groei en beter diensverskaffing aan burgers te bereik, moet daar 'n sterk klem op die aanmoediging van korporatiewe betrokkenheid wees. Hierdie tesis bespreek die Korporatiewe Maatskaplike Verantwoordelikheidsprogramme (KMV-programme) wat deur geselekteerde groot Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye geimplementeer is en die pogings wat hulle aangewend het om die armoede gaping aan die onderkant van die inkomstepiramide te vernou. Die tweede deel van hierdie tesis verskaf 'n fyner en breedvoeriger bespreking van die Suid-Afrikaanse Brouerye se Ondernemingsontwikkelingsprogramme, nl. Ukusa en Mahlasedi. Die uitkoms van hierdie tesis verskaf verdere bewyse dat armoedeverligtingstrategieë doeltreffend en volhoubaar kan wees indien dit privaat-sektor benaderings inkorporeer wat entrepreneurskaps ontwikkeling binne die teikenbevolking in Suid-Afrika bevorder. Dit beklemtoon ook dat KMV-programme geleenthede vir die deel van die bevolking aan die onderkant van die inkomstepiramide skep, en terselfdertyd die groei en volhoubaarheid van talle ondernemings in Suid-Afrika regstreeks beinvloed.

It is broadly recognized in the aerospace industry, as well as many others, that organizations which effectively execute development projects to meet desired cost, schedule, and performance targets for their customers produce higher levels of customer satisfaction and also a significant source of competitive advantage. Continually meeting the needs of the customer through effective project execution allows a company to become a preferred supplier favored in source selection for follow-on contracts and new development projects necessary for business growth. This research effort examines one aerospace company, which has multiple, diverse development projects on-going at any one time across several business units. The motivation for this thesis is to explore the product/system development capacity of the enterprise by analyzing the historical program performance of major projects, understanding the level of problem projects or fire fighting within the project pipeline, and the perceived causes of poor project performance. In addition, system dynamics models are developed to analyze the dynamics associated with project planning and resource planning strategies for both multi-project and single project scenarios. This analysis provides insight into the potential for project pipeline "tipping" and the effects of various project management and resource planning strategies in an aerospace product/system development context. Such analysis is believed to provide greater insight and opportunity to improve the product/system development performance for the enterprise.

This thesis shows that lean principles that have been successfully applied in manufacturing can also be successfully applied across an entire enterprise. Established lean principles and lessons learned in lean manufacturing environments are applied across an automotive fuel system enterprise. This enterprise includes all major activities used in developing and delivering fuel systems to customers from the initiation of the systems concept to final production manufacturing. The value of the enterprise's product (fuel systems) is specified in terms of enterprise customers. The value stream of the fuel system enterprise is identified and analyzed using process mapping, input/output information flow diagrams, and other techniques. Major issues in terms of waiting time, rework time, and excessive need for validation are identified using these techniques. Countermeasures against these issues are offered to facilitate a transition to a leaner state. The goal is to develop a systemic understanding of the fuel system enterprise such that lean principles and tools can be applied to its processes to improve efficiency, throughput, and value for customers. Recommendations for further study are also listed in an effort to pursue perfection by continuously improving the lean enterprise. Finally, a transition to lean implementation plan is outlined.
