Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African Government has set a target to halve poverty and unemployment by 2014. In an attempt to achieve this target a number of projects were initiated, one of which is the National Tooling Initiative (NTI). Local structures were established to encourage co-operation and competitiveness among the Small Micro and Medium Enterprises (SMMEs) by using the cluster concept. Consequently the Western Cape Tooling Initiative (WCTI) was formed to focus on and address the needs of the toolmakers in the

This study tests whether musculoskeletal markers are attributable to occupational categories. It is hypothesized that individuals over the age of 30 years with a lifetime occupation as a laborer will demonstrate a significantly different pattern of activity markers from individuals in the white collar classifications.

R&D activity declines over time; prices, output and short-run profits of firms producing the differentiated product move towards the higher steadystate values, production of the non-differentiated good falls.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the uneven development of trade union activity among hospital nurses in Britain between 1910-1976, within a 'situated' materialistic perspective on union growth. It is argued that both professionalism and unionism developed as a result of the decay of traditional nursing ideology in its home base of the voluntary hospital, and the failure of its proponents to win total hegemony in areas where nursing reform spread, notably the asylums, workhouse infirmaries and private nursing. In explaining these developments due emphasis is given to both material changes in the labour pr

Corporate political activity (CPA) has been recognized as a source of sustainable competitive advantage. Its proponents, mostly nonmarket strategy researchers, argue that political capital enables firms to influence their regulatory and policy environments, shape their competitive space, and improve their performance. Consequently, there is a widely held view that the performance of firms depends not only on the ability of managers to exploit economic markets but also on their ability to succeed in political markets.

Two methods of analysis are used; Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and Neo-Classical Cost Function analysis. The industry's performance in 1978 is compared to the performance in 1982. Results of the Total Factor Productivity analysis indicate the TFP of the industry in 1982, after deregulation, was lower than that of 1978. However drawing conclusions from this result would be unfounded. TFP analysis assumes constant returns to scale. Cost Function analyses

The decision to ‘go public’ is an important process in the company life cycle. By making an initial public offering (IPO) of company shares, firms can raise external equity finance, thereby allowing inter alia the cashing-out of entrepreneurs and private equity interests, the funding of growth and expansion opportunities, enhancing the market for corporate control, and facilitating capital restructuring. Consequently, the efficiency of the IPO process and the performance of companies that have gone public has been a longstanding focus in academic research and a key concern for practitioners. T
