The strategic management process (Paperback): K. Lazenby The strategic management process (Paperback)
K. Lazenby
R787 Discovery Miles 7 870 Ships in 7 - 10 working days

Today it is clear to managers and entrepreneurs that the business environment can change at any given time. Strategic management is an important and ongoing process of formulating and implementing strategies that help an organisation to position itself optimally and so maintain a competitive advantage that results in profit. It creates harmony between any organisation, big or small, and its environment. All stakeholders are affected by strategic decisions. In the South African context, strategic management is crucial for all profit-seeking as well as non-profit-seeking organisations as a result of an ever-changing, turbulent and competitive environment. It is therefore important for students and practitioners of management at every level and in every organisation to understand the vital role of strategic management in the life of an organisation. The strategic management process: a South African perspective is a new South African handbook with a fresh and exciting perspective. Its four parts follow an understandable and practical approach, making use of numerous figures and "strategy in action" cases to support the theory. The strategic management process: a South African perspective should prove invaluable both to students in strategic management and to organisations, from corporate and public companies with management training programmes, to small business ventures that are trying to gain a competitive advantage in a cut-throat environment.

Human life would not be the same without language communication. Sounds and symbols are the most basic characteristics of all languages, but the system by which these are linked to form meaning is conventionalised in very different ways. Many school-going learners in South Africa are currently not being instructed in their primary language for reasons that include the perception of increased economic opportunity that English gives. Learn2Teach accesses the theories and practices, and offers guidance on the principles, of teaching and learning English as a first or additional language within the context of the multilingual South African classroom as set out in the national curriculum. Learn2Teach makes special reference to the communicative approach which supports the outcomes-based education philosophy by not only promoting basic interpersonal oral-aural skills, but also integrating the expressive and receptive skills needed to develop the cognitive academic language proficiency so necessary for speakers of other languages being schooled in English. Many practical examples and teaching strategies are suggested and teachers are encouraged to develop their own coherent philosophy based on personal experiences.

Oorgange en voortgange is 'n bundel oorspronklike navorsingsartikels saamgestel as huldiging van prof. Heinrich Ohlhoff. Hy was sedert 1966 in verskeie hoedanighede verbonde aan die Universiteit van Pretoria. Hy is 'n gerekende kenner van die Afrikaanse poësie, maar ook ewe tuis op die terreine van die Afrikaanse taalkunde, Algemene Literatuurwetenskap, Goties en Kultuurteorie. As filoloog het sy navorsing gekonsentreer op Middeleeuse Europese kultuur, Renaissance studie en sewentiende-eeuse Nederlandse letterkunde. Hy is op al hierdie vakterreine 'n wandelende ensiklopedie.

Elkeen van die bydraers tot die bundel het 'n persoonlike verhouding met Heinrich Ohlhoff, as voormalige studente of vakkollegas. Van sy oudstudente het hom die eerste keer in hul voorgraadse klasse meegemaak, sommige het hom later as begeleier vir hul nagraadse studie gekies, in sigself klinkende getuienis van hul vertroue. Die studies wat hier opgeneem is, handel oor die Middeleeuse Nederlandse letterkunde, die Afrikaanse biografie, Afrikaanse mondelinge oordrag, akademiese geletterdheid, die leksikologie en veral die Afrikaanse prosa en poësie.

Hierdie vakverskeidenheid is toepaslik omdat Heinrich Ohlhoff op al hierdie terreine met gemak kan saampraat.

There is a growing awareness in the global business environment of the importance of managing the supply side, also referred to as the input side, of business as a strategically important area. South African business managers are certainly also aware of the strategic significance of purchasing and supply management and the potential it holds for gaining a competitive advantage in an increasingly difficult and competitive business environment. This edition of Purchasing and supply management provides contemporary insights into this dynamic field of business management. Purchasing and supply management introduces new concepts and management tools to make purchasing and supply management more efficient in functioning within the broader concept of supply chain management. It covers not only basic principles, but also the activities incumbent on a purchasing and supply manager, as well as resources and areas of application. Furthermore, it addresses the relationships between purchasing and concepts such as logistics management and the more integrated system of supply chain management. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and includes case studies and multiple-choice questions which were not in the previous edition. It is therefore student friendly, but at the same time remains a valuable aid to the purchasing fraternity in South African business. Some of the more prominent topics that are included in this edition are the following: Purchasing and supply policies and strategies; purchasing price determination and cost analysis; evaluation and selection of suppliers; the management of quality; electronic commerce and electronic procurement applications; purchasing from small businesses.

The goal of investment management is to achieve the investor's required rate of return by putting assets to their most productive use. The return should compensate the investor for the time during which the funds are committed, the expected rate of inflation and the uncertainty of the future financial benefits expected from the investment. Investment management is a concise, yet comprehensive introduction to investment analysis and portfolio management, specifically in South Africa. Investment management focuses on investment in financial assets such as shares and bonds, and explains fundamental and technical analysis. It investigates portfolio management and how derivative instruments such as futures, options and swaps may be used for this purpose. In addition, a chapter is devoted to the foreign exchange market and its management. The book provides a comprehensive framework and a thorough network of guidelines, with self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter. It is written with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA(R)) Level I learning outcomes for investment analysis and portfolio management in mind. Investment management aims to prepare undergraduate investment management students for postgraduate study.

R976 R861 Discovery Miles 8 610 Save R115 (12%) Ships in 4 - 8 working days

The Constitutional Law Casebook consists of approximately fifty case extracts from significant judgments handed down by South African courts. The majority of the cases discussed are decisions of the Constitutional Court, although some extracts are from significant decisions of the Supreme Court of Appeal.

The cases are considered under separate themes, for example, separation of powers, equality, property etc. The extract selected from each case traces the development of the principles applicable to each particular category.

An introductory question on the legal issues introduces each case discussion. This is followed by a brief description of the factual background and the legal history of the case. The key legal issues to be determined by the Court are then identified. An extract of the relevant paragraphs of the decision itself follows, tracing the Court’s ratio decidendi in answering the introductory question. The order is quoted as well, where it provides a useful confirmation of the ratio decidendi.

Three to five questions for students follow each case extract. These are intended to spark debate around the issues raised in the judgment, to test comprehension of the decision and to encourage a deeper reflection on these issues. The questions may be used to initiate class discussions, or as essay topics for students.

Legal language, or ‘legalese’ as it is sometimes called, is a language that many people find hard to understand. This is because some of the words and phrases that lawyers and other legal experts use do not form part of regular everyday communication. However, when these experts speak and write using unfamiliar language it is often because they have to: ‘ordinary’ language cannot properly or accurately describe the often complex concepts and issues involved.

This dictionary bridges the gap between the world of everyday language and the world of legal language. Users can access over 20 000 legal words, each of which is explained in plain English for the benefit of people without a legal background, as well as legal practitioners, law students and other members of the legal profession.

The dictionary deals with the areas of criminal law, criminal procedural law and law of evidence, and is aimed at familiarising users with the use of legal language in a number of settings, including the courtroom. A bilingual publication, this English–Afrikaans / Afrikaans–English dictionary also contains a useful list of Latin terms and phrases, together with explanatory notes, as a centre insert. Synonyms, homonyms and polysemes are identified and explained, and the dictionary provides guidance on the use of abbreviations and how to cross-reference lemmas (headwords).

Topics covered include the role of the South African Reserve Bank, technical features associated with the money market, and corporate governance and risk management. Each chapter opens with study objectives and jargon is explained in lay terms. Relevant international and local market practices and norms are applied.

In The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald recreates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.
