Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2006.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The last decade has seen a continuing erosion of trust in business. Companies inability to realise trust in practice has created public cynicism and mistrust.

Abstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>In project management, stakeholders are key to ensuring the success of a project. However, research has found that not enough attention is given to the needs and influence of stakeholders. In the search of a holistic approach to stakeholder management, very few recommendations could be found in literature. The purpose of this research is to search for key elements in literature that can be used in the development of a generic model that guides the user in the process of stakeholder management in projects.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.<br>Traditionally project management has been found mainly in the construction industry and the project manager was a technical specialist. There was a tendency to select people solely for their technical expertise and to emphasize the hard skills (scheduling, statistical analysis, etc.) In general there was a failure to distinguish between project leadership and project management. Managing organisations through projects or through project portfolios (programmes) is gaining popularity since it is a management approach that integrates and co-o

These problems must be managed constructively in order for the organization to realize the design/structure's full potential.
