Improving public policy has for the last two decades been the most comprehensive textbook on this topic on the African continent. This new edition has been reconceptualised by an expanded range of experienced specialists to clarify the most pertinent public policy issues in contemporary 21st century societies. Sustainable development is nowadays an overriding goal for any government. It is a much taller order than only ‘simple’ short-term economic development or medium-term improvement in the quality of life of people. Sustainability is a very complex, comprehensive, long-term outcome that requires much more sophisticated planning, policymaking, management and governance than simpler, narrower goals. This is especially relevant in the current digital era of the so called Fourth Industrial Revolution.

This significantly revised and updated fifth edition is now entitled Improving public policy for sustainable development impact in the digital era. It focuses on explaining and illustrating how the complexity of modern fourth industrial era societies, especially in third world contexts like South Africa and other African countries, necessitate specific systematic public policy approaches and strategies to pursue the achievement of sustainable development goals for their societies in an increasingly digital era and under increasing resource constraints.

The book links the theory and practice of public policy in a user friendly, logical manner. It explains what public policy is and should be, why and how it is created, and how public policy content, processes, outputs and outcomes can be improved to promote optimal good governance and achieve sustainable developmental goals in the most economic, efficient and effective ways. Each chapter includes references to the latest published South African and international resources on various aspects of public policy and related issues.

This new fifth edition is essential reading material for all students, researchers and practitioners in the field of public policy who require more relevant and appropriate knowledge, insights and/or practical skills in the achievement of their sustainable development goals.

The Business Analysts completely dissolves the perception that the IT industry dictates to businesses what IT systems they will use and dispels the myth that business users and IT technicians are from different planets. It suggests how to create an environment in which everybody works together in an exciting and refreshing way – a paradigm shift in the way business analysis projects are done.

The IT industry has to move to a point where it realises that the users of IT systems and the technical personnel are both equally responsible for getting the system to work. The users of the IT system should be an integral part of the team when the system is being put together. This, unfortunately, is not the norm within the industry. It is the business analyst’s responsibility, among others, to make sure that communication flows freely between all the parties involved.

This book gives the business analyst the tools and techniques to find out what the business users of IT systems really need and to guide the project to meet those needs.

The past two decades have seen a huge growth in interest in doctoral studies, not only in South Africa but elsewhere as well. Changes in the funding framework for universities in South Africa, in particular, has meant that from 2005 onwards, more funding has been available. However, postgraduate studies are challenging. The "digital revolution", as one example, has had a radical impact on the way research is done in the 21st century. Because of the more widespread availability of information (including personal information), students have had to become more accountable when they conduct research.

How To Succeed In Your Master's And Doctoral Studies is organised around eight steps that should be followed for the successful and ethical completion of postgraduate studies, whether they be traditional master's theses, mini-theses or doctoral dissertations. How To Succeed In Your Master's And Doctoral Studies is based on first-hand knowledge of students' experiences with postgraduate studies: what the challenges and problems were, how they navigated the supervisory process and the different styles and approaches of supervisors, the support (or lack thereof) they received from the universities where they had enrolled, and much more. How To Succeed In Your Master's And Doctoral Studies is aimed at students embarking on postgraduate studies.
